I guess you can listen on the AHA Radio app 20 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.200 listen also live at seven ninety Louisville dot com. A beautiful, beautiful day, 21 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.120 which you know, I'll keep up with the weather as much as you 22 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:32.400 know a meteorologist in fact here is do you check the weather? Not as 23 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.319 much as I checked the traffic on the way, Like you don't really need 24 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.599 to check the weather, right, No, just look out the window. 25 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.519 The only reason I find myself checking the weather is whenever I'm getting my kids 26 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.400 ready in the morning, because like, if it's going to be warm, 27 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:49.359 I want to put them in shorts. Like that's what because we're we're hopefully 28 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.879 getting more and more closer to the consistent warm weather. But we've been in 29 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.959 that window here for roughly a month where you could have some you know, 30 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.719 some nice weather where it's warm but you know, I'm not hot, but 31 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.040 just nice outside, and then you know, one day it could be forty 32 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.840 degrees. So you know, I thought today was supposed to be rainy, 33 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:12.840 but it's sunny and it's beautiful outside, so hopefully you guys are enjoying yourselves. 34 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:17.080 We are just a couple of days away from the Louisville football spring game, 35 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.199 and what I wanted to get to just to quickly get it out of 36 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:28.319 the way. The transfer portal opened yesterday and it will be I suppose open. 37 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.560 Yeah, it's it's a short window, the post spring transfer portal for 38 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:36.639 college. That's hard for me to say transfer pool. When I say portal, 39 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:38.919 it's like a word I'm just not good at, like all old. 40 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:43.960 Yeah, Like instead of saying portal, I just try to say it fast, 41 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.360 so it's transfer porole. And it really really trips me up because there's 42 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.960 certain words maybe I just say funny or sometimes you know, I'll just have 43 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.719 the inability to really speak the English language at times, because you know, 44 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.879 sometimes it happens. But that's a word where when I say it, I'm 45 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.520 like, what are you doing? Like why would why why would that come 46 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.319 out of your mouth when you're trying to say the word portal, portal, 47 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.319 portal, transfer portal, Like I can't say fast, try to say fast 48 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.400 transfer portal. So you said it great, but was it fast? It 49 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.520 was like a semi speed man transfer portal, No, because I try to 50 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:20.800 hold associate and slows it down automatically when you do. But you should, 51 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.080 because do you sound more like a professional? You sound like somebody you know 52 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.800 that probably should be on the radio. You that Sally sells Seashells on the 53 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.400 sea shore. Sally sells she Sally sells seashells on the seashore. Yeah, 54 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.680 there you go. It wasn't wasn't totally smooth, but I got through it. 55 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.719 Portal. Maybe that just just no more transfer. I'm just gonna say 56 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.520 portal because I can say that, you know, portal, but transfer portal. 57 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.319 When I say it, try to say it quickly, it just doesn't 58 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:46.479 work, and I you know, it trips me up. It makes me 59 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.080 just really it makes me just want to say, all right, you idiot, 60 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.520 turn the mic off off, turn it off, because you need to 61 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.439 walk out of here and resign because you are in it you're unable to speak, 62 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:02.479 which is actually quite literally the job. So anyways, those there were 63 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.240 were yesterday and there was a lot of panic, I think early on Tuesday 64 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:11.159 morning, but then once the day progressed, I think we were well aware 65 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:17.439 that not one but two reputable outlets that cover college football recruiting and the free 66 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.800 agency season, which again is now the portal they were wrong about Louisville. 67 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.839 Doesn't mean they won't still have other guys that end up going to the portal 68 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.639 after the spring game, because I kind of feel like if you hit, 69 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.920 if you do this before the spring game, I mean, I don't know 70 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:39.720 the spring game. To me, I'm not even really sure how much the 71 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.360 coaches are going to truly if you have a good spring game like that is 72 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.279 not going to matter if you get to fall camping like you're not playing well. 73 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:53.519 So I'm sure coaches are going to take notice of every snap and every 74 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:58.439 play that every single player is involved in to some extent. But I think 75 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.439 if you were were really hoping to get some buzz from, you know, 76 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.600 entering the portal, you would want to play in the spring game and probably 77 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:14.120 have some good numbers and stats to you know, to one just give another 78 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.920 school another, you know, bit of data to assess. I mean, 79 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.079 they'll know going in it's the spring game. Probably isn't worth much of anything, 80 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.920 but it's at least something to reference. But also what it could do 81 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:33.120 is, you know, it could shoot down any reports out there that you 82 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:38.759 claim are untrue, that you're not worried about where you are on the depth 83 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.720 chart, which we'll get to that, because Penny Boone he heard enough about 84 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.120 people claiming that his move from Louisville after just three and a half months on 85 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.839 campus was due to where he stood on the depth chart and maybe being behind 86 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:54.800 some other running backs, and he heard enough and he decided to respond, 87 00:05:54.879 --> 00:06:00.560 only to then delete, you know, every everything that he put out. 88 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:01.920 But we still have the sound, so we'll play it. But anyways, 89 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:06.959 we'll get into that in just a moment. But the college basketball rosters around 90 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.360 here, I don't think there's been any kind of like real big significant update 91 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.480 in like the last twenty four hours on the Louisville side. Obviously yesterday Javon 92 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.079 Hadley a really good addition. You know, I'm surprised to see where he's 93 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:24.879 ranked in the in the rankings as far as available players that have transferred out 94 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:30.480 because I think he's I mean, I don't know what I think his production 95 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.040 and his versatility and just really being a guy that can do a little bit 96 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.600 of everything. I really thought that would lead to him being a little more 97 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:46.439 highly regarded but again, just like recruiting rankings and I guess draft boards that 98 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.399 kind of stuff too, you really never know, like are you basing it? 99 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.360 Like when you let me ask you this, John put your you put 100 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:58.800 your analyst cap on for me. If you were going to put together the 101 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:03.600 best thirty play in college basketball in the portal, would you base it off 102 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:08.879 of dudes who you just know are going to give you this and are this 103 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:14.959 good in college? Or would you base it off of that along with upside 104 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.079 potential ceiling? I think, I mean, if you're giving me just one 105 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.800 answer, I would say how they're doing in college. I think you do 106 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:26.079 need to find a balance between the two because ultimately there are a lot of 107 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.959 these guys probably do have a ceiling of some sort, especially if they're younger 108 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.160 guys in the portal. So yeah, somewhere between those like for example, 109 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.959 and we'll look at these rankings later, because I still feel like, for 110 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.240 the most part, it's pretty underwhelming. And that's not a bad thing. 111 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.560 Necessarily, there's a lot of players in the portal, and both teams here 112 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.839 locally are gonna need a lot of them to fill their roster. But I 113 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.399 feel like the last couple of years, there were a lot more notable names 114 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:56.199 that you were very well familiar with in the college basketball landscape. And I 115 00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.199 consider myself to be someone that watches it more than the average fan and act 116 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.439 probably a lot more than the average fan. And you know, I'm familiar 117 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.600 with some of these guys, but you know, it's just But then again, 118 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.319 I remind myself that throughout the college basketball season, you will see a 119 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.920 guy that is a newcomer for a certain team and he's a big impact guy 120 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.800 and they're generating some momentum because they're playing well, and then you realize, 121 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.240 oh, wow, I don't know who that guy is, but he came 122 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.920 from this mid major school. But again, I was the reason I asked 123 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.319 about the potential or the you know, just how good are they all? 124 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.839 How good are they right now? Is because if you're going after dudes that 125 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.759 have played college basketball for a couple of years, I mean, I gotta 126 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.200 be honest, I'm sure that there is some level of like, hey, 127 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.879 this guy's going to get a little better. But I think the portal to 128 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.679 me, for the most part, it's utilized to go get dudes who like 129 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.000 are going to come in right away and fill a specific spot that you need, 130 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.759 not guys that you still need to kind of develop. And like, 131 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.480 for example, I don't know, it sounds like I'm picking on this guy, 132 00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.480 but DJ Wagner being a top ten player the Transfer Portal rankings from CBS 133 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:07.000 Sports, Like, what is that based off of? Like that? What 134 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.000 would what would mean? That's? Is that a recruiting ranking? I guess, 135 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.240 I mean, But then again, a great example was was clear where 136 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.200 in Indiana last year because he did not have good numbers at Oregon and he 137 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.039 was a really really highly regarded recruit. He hit the portal at one point 138 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.200 was one of the time. In fact, I think throughout everyone who entered 139 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.080 the portal he was a top top three, top five guy and he ended 140 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.039 up having a really good season in Indiana. I mean, I'm not wrong, 141 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.440 right, He's a good player for the NBA. Now, yeah, 142 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.200 he's off to the NBA, so you know, but he's a guy that 143 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.639 only played one year, and I guess the same can be said about Wagner. 144 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.440 But I just don't know where DJ Wagner is. I don't know what 145 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.320 he excels him Like, I don't think he's terrible at anything, but like 146 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.399 what's his like, what tool is he pulling out of the toolbox like that? 147 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.960 Really, you know that he separates himself from from the pack. Not 148 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:03.360 a great shooter, good enough athlete, but he doesn't play above the rim, 149 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.360 not quick, does not create for anybody. I mean, I'm sounding 150 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.720 like he's a bum. Trust me, he's a good player, and I 151 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.519 wouldn't be shocked if he's, you know, a fourteen to fifteen point a 152 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.720 game guy at a different school next year. But I just was really surprised 153 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.679 to see him ranked a high as he was. But anyways, we'll get 154 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.480 into all that. But again, I don't think there's been any massive update. 155 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.080 I think on the Kentucky side, their fans are starting to get a 156 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.000 little bit antsy. And I know Matt on KSR this morning, and I 157 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:31.559 believe even yesterday too, was kind of letting people know, hey, you 158 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.320 got to chill out, you got to calm down. And he keeps referencing 159 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.720 that, you know, Cali Perry has actually been on the job. I 160 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.360 guess for a little bit longer. I mean, was it a day longer? 161 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.840 Cal was introduced on Wednesday? I guess a week ago today? Does 162 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.360 that sound right? I think it was His timeline is weird because we knew 163 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.559 he had the job, but it took Arkansas a while to officially introduce him. 164 00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:01.360 Yeah, so Wednesday he was introduced, was introduced on Friday. Well, 165 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.919 Pope was hired on Friday officially, but we knew it was happening Thursday, 166 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.159 and he was introduced on Sunday. Yeah, so you know, they 167 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.519 each have had one player added to their roster, and it's each of them 168 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.919 meeting Pope and Calipari it's a guy that followed them to their next school. 169 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:28.759 So I think the impatience is a little bit justified. I don't really know 170 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.360 what he could be doing right now. Obviously he just got the job. 171 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.879 He was just introduced a few days ago. Like, it doesn't work that 172 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:39.399 quickly, and clearly they are working on fielding a roster and they're going to 173 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.080 probably bring in some guys from the high school ranks if they can, And 174 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.559 Louisville and Kentucky are in similar situations, to be honest with you, and 175 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.759 I don't know if it's because you know, right now there are four players 176 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.720 currently in the mix for Pat Kelsey, which again I think you need ten 177 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.240 scholarship dudes. Who can you can rely on to some extent. Right, 178 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:03.639 maybe you get to January and you realize your rotation is going to be seven 179 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.559 to eight. These other two you can play them, but it's going to 180 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.600 be dependent upon a quick break here and there for one of your other players, 181 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.240 or a foul situation whatever it may be, foul trouble, I should 182 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.639 say. But you know, Kentucky right now has one or two I guess 183 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:24.000 because they have well do they have two? I mean, let me pull 184 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.000 up their roster, because obviously they brought in Colin is it Colin Chandler? 185 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.600 Does that sound like? I think I'd rather have Colin Cowherd, to be 186 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:37.720 honest with you. But anyways, the who's the there's one guy he may 187 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:39.399 he may transfer, or he may never play because he's not any good. 188 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.919 I don't know. But there's one guy who's not entered the portal and he 189 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.200 is not he's not enter the draft. Jordan Burks, Yes, Jordan Burks 190 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.960 like maybe, I mean, I guess he's still technically on the roster, 191 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.639 and I doubt they would try to run him off considering the fact they just 192 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.279 need bodies, and you knows, maybe he turns into a pretty good player, 193 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.559 but he couldn't I mean, he couldn't sniff the floor this year for 194 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.879 Kentucky, which doesn't mean he's bad. But nonetheless, what I'm getting at 195 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:03.039 it, you know, they have Jordan Burk's and they have the transfer from 196 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:09.919 Byu who hasn't played basketball in two years. So again I'll put it this 197 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.960 way, it's really just a product of the situation. And what I mean 198 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:20.519 by that is because all your guys can just up and leave whenever they want. 199 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.639 That alone makes it to where you really never know what you're gonna have 200 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.480 to do when it comes to fielding your roster. But also when a coaching 201 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.960 change happens. This may not be the new norm, Like I don't think 202 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:37.840 you're going to see every time a coach leaves a school that program who you 203 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.200 know is replacing their coach have to deal with what both Louisville and Kentucky you 204 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.759 are dealing with this year, because you know, Kentucky, they really only 205 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:50.440 have two guys that have hit the portal or I guess three, Bradshaw big 206 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.440 Z who's at Arkansas, and then Thierro who's in the portal who may follow 207 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.039 calt Arkansas. You know, the rest of it. I mean, Dillingham, 208 00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:01.600 Shepherd's gonna go pro, Trey Mitchell's graduated, Reeves has graduated, Justin 209 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:07.080 Edwards is going pro. You know. So it's just a rare situation, 210 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.799 right because I think if Cali Perry was still there, you know, would 211 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.759 big Z still be there, probably, Bradshaw probably, you know, theerro 212 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:20.200 absolutely. Oh if I forget about ONIONSU. I mean he's going pro too. 213 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.240 So put it this way, like I could be wrong, right because 214 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.279 the guy's been on the job three four days, and it's really impossible to 215 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.879 know what kind of traction they're really getting with these players in the portal or 216 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.519 guys that are freshmen in high school that are still looking for a school. 217 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.399 But I mean it wouldn't shock me at all if their roster is very, 218 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:45.919 very underwhelming, because if they end up missing out on Jeremy Roach, the 219 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.919 duke player who's transferring, which apparently his schools are Kentucky, Arkansas and Saint 220 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:56.399 John's what a wild I mean, that's that's a Kentucky connection at every level 221 00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.360 each all three of those guys. So there's him, know, there's the 222 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.320 kid from Dayton, Like they're talking and they're in on transfers, just like 223 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.519 Louisville is. But I don't know. I just feel like if if they 224 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.200 don't get like one of their top three guys they're going after that everybody else 225 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.679 is in on. It wouldn't shock me because again, nobody's saying Mark Pope 226 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.600 is a bad coach, but like he's not cal Perry. I mean, 227 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.720 you know, Nil clearly is gonna help him. But I understand there they 228 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:30.440 maybe worry is not the right word to use. But then you know the 229 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.879 impatience here because they got two guys on their team and they're gonna need a 230 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.039 lot more in these next you know, a couple of months, and there 231 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.960 may be more guys that hit the portal today and tomorrow, so there's still 232 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.720 plenty of time. But it's just so unusual to see as we sit here 233 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:52.159 midway through April, knowing that once we get to actually see these teams in 234 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.799 action, you know the guys that are going to be filling those roster spots. 235 00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.320 I mean, it's anybody's guest right now, but I'm gonna make a 236 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:06.639 prediction if we get to Friday and there's not like any legitimate update, that's 237 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:11.039 like a good one or there's no addition I guess to their roster. Their 238 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.200 fans are going to start to get even more impatient, right, Like they're 239 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.360 going to start freaking out. Yeah, I mean, if they aren't already, 240 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.879 it's gonna be by the end of the way. And I think they 241 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.399 they are. But there's really no like, there's no one. Like it's 242 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:25.960 not Mark Pope's fault. Like again, I don't really know what he It 243 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:29.799 would be insane if he would have already landed, you know, a couple 244 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.879 of big time transfers. Considering the fact that he literally just showed up on 245 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:37.960 Sunday, it sounds like So anyways, we'll be keeping you updated as best 246 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.559 we can. And on the Louisville side, tomorrow's a big day. I 247 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.960 mean, they've got a few visitors coming in really, I guess, not 248 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.320 just tomorrow, but really kind of Thursday through Saturday. I believe is a 249 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:53.000 busy, busy window there for Pat Kelsey and his staff because they're bringing in 250 00:16:53.240 --> 00:17:00.840 some high school kids. Apparently Boogie flanned former Kentucky Sani who decommitted and picked 251 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:04.680 Kentucky over Indiana at the time. Well now, apparently Louisville among many schools 252 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:08.839 are interested. But our guy Rob Cassidy at Rivals, that's talking to him 253 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:14.480 earlier this afternoon. He said that Louisville is pursuing him, you know, 254 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.640 harder than anybody. So you know, you got the number ten earth sorry, 255 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:25.680 the number eight player in America coming in tomorrow to Jayden quantins quaintance. 256 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:27.839 I mean, and it sounds like Arkansas is still the school to beat there 257 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:32.000 because he was committed to Caliperry. But you know, who knows. Maybe 258 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:34.759 he's really impressed with his Louisville visit. Speaking of visits, a couple of 259 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:38.599 guys who visited this past weekend. There's not any good news or bad news 260 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.480 on those guys. That's Nick Boyd from FAU and then Dante Maddox, which 261 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:48.079 I initially thought that with Maddox, Louisville may end up just you know, 262 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:55.039 coming up short in that recruitment because he's from the Chicago area Illinois. I 263 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.960 mean, he did visit Illinois after he visits Louisville, but he left Illinois 264 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:00.640 and didn't make a decision, and now he's at Xavier. So maybe this 265 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:07.559 is a guy that truly wanted to take in every visit and then make a 266 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:12.400 decision from there. So I'm trying to be structured with this stuff, John, 267 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:17.319 because you know there are people, believe it or not, they need 268 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:18.759 their heads check, but they don't listen to the full three hours of the 269 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.359 show. Don't know why. Don't know how about you. I don't know 270 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.400 how you could not listen to the full three hours of the show. But 271 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.759 when people just randomly get us for five ten minutes in the car, like 272 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.160 if I'm just talking about this player who transferred from a MAX school or this 273 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:38.039 guy who transferred from you know, the West Coast, I mean, it's 274 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:42.960 somewhat informative, but like it's also there's a chance we talk about these dudes 275 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:48.519 that like we never even get a visit. So I'm still adjusting like everybody 276 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:51.200 else with the portal. Obviously, there's much more adjustments to be made on 277 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:57.079 the actual college basketball side with coaches and everybody having a deal with free agency, 278 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:03.519 seas and all that. But it's just such a chaotic, never ending 279 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:07.599 cycle of you know, eight new players in the portal, and you know, 280 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.880 Louisville or Kentucky or Indiana even they're talking to these three, but you 281 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.359 never know where you stand. You see one tweet and I think I have 282 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.759 at least figured out what the process is for reporting on these guys. And 283 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.519 I don't mean from like my end. I mean like people who cover recruiting 284 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:27.279 and whatnot. Guy hits the portal, you'll see a like a Jamie Shaw 285 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:33.960 from on three, maybe a Joe Tipton, maybe a Who's twenty four seven's 286 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.519 top guy, Eric Bossey, maybe Rob Cassidy at rivals. You know, 287 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.720 guys who cover college basketball recruiting are now shifting to covering also the portal as 288 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:48.440 well, and they'll report that they're in the next tweet will be a picture 289 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.920 of set player and a long list of schools that have already reached out, 290 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.119 and then like maybe in a day, maybe in a few days, you 291 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.759 get an update that you know this transfer is going to be at these five 292 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.839 schools. So until you get to like that point, that level of like 293 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.079 here you go. You knew there were thirty schools that reached out, and 294 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.200 now you know they're scheduling visits and you're getting one. That's where I feel 295 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.440 like you can shift a little bit of a little bit of attention there. 296 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.279 But that a couple of like when when a big name just hits the portal 297 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.839 and you know everybody's involved. Usually you have at least a couple maybe three 298 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.400 days before you get any legitimate update as far as which direction they're going. 299 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:32.119 But it's also it feels like something you should talk about because hey, it's 300 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:34.160 a big time player that would be a big addition for one of these programs. 301 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:37.920 But then again, like you could spend two days having it be you 302 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.720 know, something you chew on here and there throughout the show, only for 303 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.920 you to realize that, you know, of the thirty schools, you weren't 304 00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:45.960 one of the five that are going to get a visit or something like that. 305 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.440 So anyways, I'm trying my best to balance and adjust to this because 306 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:53.119 usually at this time and this is I think this is better because it's more 307 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.200 exciting. It's you know, you get a chance to get something new every 308 00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.240 year, not a whole team like we're going through now now. But in 309 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:04.240 a previous life, it would be all right, who's who's going pro? 310 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:10.279 Right? Like who? Because the transfer used to be so rare, I 311 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:12.799 mean, it would happen, but there was a there was a window a 312 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:18.000 time where guys could grad transfer only and that's how you were able like for 313 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:21.079 example, like Damian Lee and Trey Lewis. Keep in mind those guys could 314 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:23.359 play right away because they didn't, you know, they'd already graduated. So 315 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:27.160 that became a growing thing, but it was nowhere near the amount of guys 316 00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:33.480 you have now that essentially become free agents. But before that, like before 317 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:37.039 the grad transfer thing became a thing, I mean, it was it was 318 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.799 just about which which guys are going to declare for the draft and are they 319 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:42.640 going to hire an agent? And if they hire an agent, it's done. 320 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.400 They cannot they're they're they're gone. But if they don't, then you 321 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:48.839 have that deadline window where they got to announce. So are they going to 322 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.039 come back to school or are they going to stay in the draft. And 323 00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.279 you know that this is just a different world. And again it's chaotic, 324 00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:57.960 but it's kind of fun. We're gonna have some fun today. We have 325 00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:02.119 a lot to get into. No guest scheduled today. I usually bring in 326 00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:06.799 our man, Kent Spencer from WAHS eleven and we'll get to him tomorrow or 327 00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:08.240 Friday if he has tom But I just felt like today, you know, 328 00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:12.799 there's it's it's you know it's one of those days where I want to let 329 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:15.319 you guys be a part of the show. So if you want to give 330 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.640 us a call, you can five oh two five seven one seventy nine hundred. 331 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.160 That is the number.

This text 341 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:53.079 says, Nick, you're turning into that old guy that hates recruiting and always 342 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.599 tells people he doesn't want to hear about any name until they're on campus and 343 00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:02.160 practicing with the team. I'm not sure if that guy exists anymore. I 344 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:06.319 mean, I'm sure there are people that you know don't follow it nearly as 345 00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:10.640 close as as you know I do, and maybe even some of the listeners 346 00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:12.279 here. In fact, there's plenty of people that probably follow it closer than 347 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:15.119 I am. It's you know, they're just you know, they're on the 348 00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:18.480 message boards, and they're they pay for a subscription, you know, to 349 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.160 the on threes and the rivals and all that kind of stuff. So I 350 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:26.160 would never claim to be the most informed. I'm just going off of you 351 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.160 know, what those guys say, and some of you will probably have access 352 00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:33.359 to that information that I don't. But you can't do that anymore, really, 353 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:34.000 I mean again, you can, you can give the hell you want. 354 00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:37.839 But it used to be where again we were just talking about this, 355 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:42.000 how if you lost a player, it was a rare situation with a guy 356 00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:49.519 transferred or it was going pro early, right, So your freshman class would 357 00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:56.519 typically feature you know, three four guys, and unless you're at a place 358 00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.839 like you know, Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, the other schools that at 359 00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:04.559 one point really thrived on the one and done model and they really tried to 360 00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:08.839 to win that way, you could go into the off season and literally say, 361 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:12.640 yeah, I know the eight guys that are coming back on my team. 362 00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:18.039 So you know, I don't need to get educated. Now. You 363 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.359 if you don't follow this at least a little bit here and there, like, 364 00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:22.599 you're not gonna know you're gonna show up to the Red White game. 365 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.480 You won't know anybody. You won't know anybody's name, you don't know whobody 366 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:29.160 is, what you know, what grade they are, are they junior or 367 00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:32.559 they are freshman, whatever may be. So it's just different now, it 368 00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:36.319 really is. Have you ever heard that guy like you know that that type 369 00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.079 of guy? Yeah, I can't name any any specific people, but I 370 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:42.000 know you're talking about yeah, so and I can't either as far as just 371 00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.720 you know, anybody that I know specifically, but you know, the Target 372 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:51.799 demo for And I hate Target demo because I'd like to think that you can 373 00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:56.960 be any age, male, female, whatever. And doesn't mean you wouldn't 374 00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.119 want to listen to this show. I mean I think we you know, 375 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.240 and that's what I like whenever I end up, you know, seeing somebody 376 00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.160 who listens to the show, and it's just not what I, you know, 377 00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:07.599 would expect. I don't really know what I would expect. But anyways, 378 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:14.319 men, men to men thirty five fifty four, is you know the 379 00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:19.279 target demo for this platform, that is sports talk radio. That's I mean. 380 00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:22.519 So that's doesn't mean we don't cater at times to maybe a little bit 381 00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.920 younger, sometimes a little bit older. But men thirty five to fifty four, 382 00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.559 when I first started, you know, doing radio to where I you 383 00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:33.000 know, I had to believe or not. I did actually have to learn 384 00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:34.680 some things before they let me just start yapping my trap in front of the 385 00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.279 microphone here. But you know, you got to keep in mind, like 386 00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.200 that's the listener. You should keep in mind that type of listener men thirty 387 00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:44.279 five to fifty four. You don't have to cater everything to them, but 388 00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:48.640 just know that that is the target audience. So they were the guys that 389 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.200 you know, I was told they don't care about recruiting. They're not, 390 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:53.880 you know, and some of them did, I'm sure, but like the 391 00:25:53.920 --> 00:26:00.319 recruiting, the the people that really get into recruiting were usually the younger generation, 392 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.160 and I think those people matter just as much. But you know, 393 00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:04.920 technically it wasn't the target demo. Well, now again, I don't think 394 00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:08.160 that matters because I think we're if you're a Louisville fan, a Kentucky fan, 395 00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:11.279 Indiana fan, whatever, regardless of what age you are. If you're 396 00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.519 a fan, don't you want to know about your team? And you used 397 00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:18.160 to be able to kind of just put it on autopilot for the for you 398 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:22.599 know, from from April till I don't know, maybe October really because you 399 00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.680 could just understand that, yeah, there'll be some new pieces, but they're 400 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.160 freshmen, so I don't really need to know anything about them before they play, 401 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:32.960 and they probably won't even play that much because you know, Rick Patino 402 00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:36.440 doesn't play freshmen, and they've got the you know, eight guys back from 403 00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:38.839 last year's team. One guy was a really good player all conference, and 404 00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:41.359 then the other guy was good. But we think he's really going to get 405 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:45.440 better and developed when he becomes a junior. That's just that just isn't how 406 00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.200 it is anymore. So maybe I am turning into that guy because it just 407 00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:55.039 seems so chaotic and hard to keep up with. But it's important, all 408 00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:59.799 right. So let's give you the latest here on the Louisville football portal situation. 409 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:03.759 So it started earlier in the week and get. In fact, on 410 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:11.160 Sunday, Pete Nakos of on three he put up four names and said these 411 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.960 guys for Louisville, all offensive linemen, will be trans in the transfer portal. 412 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:19.839 Ruben unaj Unage, I think, say you say that Travante Silvester, 413 00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:26.599 Lance Robinson and Victor Cutter, only one of them is actually in the portal, 414 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.559 and the others have all publicly disputed this and said that that's not true. 415 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:36.119 So one for four for Pete Nachos. That is where I guess the 416 00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:40.640 real misinformation stuff started. And then yesterday you had Brandon Marcelo at twenty four 417 00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:44.640 to seven sports get a lot of stuff wrong, including Michael Gonzalez, Louisville's 418 00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:48.160 maybe most valuable offensive lineman, a veteran that put a lot of fans in 419 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.480 a panic, and then he ended up removing that name and then just decided 420 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:55.559 to delete the tweet all together, and then he apologized. So as of 421 00:27:55.640 --> 00:28:00.720 right now, the guys who who have entered the portal, there's not that 422 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:02.759 many. I mean, Penny Boone, we're going to talk about him in 423 00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:06.240 a minute. He's the big addition that you landed, and you hope to 424 00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.559 kind of feel that get that that that void that you're gonna have because you 425 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:15.200 lost two really good running backs in Juir Jordan and Grenda Isaac Grinda. But 426 00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:21.599 he's not transferring. And then the others are right to right tackle Rubin Unage, 427 00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:22.799 who I just mentioned. He was the he was the one out of 428 00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:26.640 those four that Pete Nachos mentioned and he was wrong. Uh. And then 429 00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.319 the other, of course is Jermaine Lowlay, which that is a that's a 430 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:34.680 big loss because he's a big name guy that you know has talent and can 431 00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:41.880 play. But I don't think it's as big of a hit as as maybe 432 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:44.559 I'm only speaking for myself here, which is all I can speak for, 433 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.440 but the fact that he's a guy that was really accomplished at his previous school, 434 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:49.920 and I guess showed some flashes here and there at Louisville, But like, 435 00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:52.440 you're not losing a lot of production because unfortunately for the young man, 436 00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.279 he was never healthy enough to play a whole lot. Now, after the 437 00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:00.559 spring game on Friday, I would imagine you'll see some more gys entered the 438 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:02.680 portal, And I have no clue if it's gonna be guys that you're really 439 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:06.200 gonna miss, or if it's guys that you you know, probably never heard 440 00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:08.119 of, or maybe it's a guy you've heard of, but hey, he 441 00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:11.359 now knows after the spring has concluded, he's not where he wants to be 442 00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:17.319 on the depth chart. So the few days of kind of worrying, Wow, 443 00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:19.279 is it gonna be bad? Or do we have issues with nil? 444 00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:22.839 I mean, I don't think any of that ended up being true. And 445 00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:26.680 let's talk quickly about Penny Boon here, because I had to look this up 446 00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:33.400 on Urban Dictionary, and then there was a quick Google search that also gave 447 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.640 me the information I was looking for. Have you ever heard anybody John, 448 00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:40.240 You're younger than me, but you're also older than me at times two when 449 00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:42.160 it comes to like pop culture stuff. Maybe not older, but you're just 450 00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:47.319 like it's not your bag, right, Yeah, standing on business? Do 451 00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:48.920 you know what that means? No? Have you ever heard anybody say it? 452 00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:52.880 Maybe? But I have no clue to me. I've heard of it, 453 00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:56.440 and I kind of it's one of those like there's a lot of slang 454 00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:00.160 out there. Is that what they call it now? Like slang? I 455 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.359 mean that's what it's always been called. But like maybe there's now a new, 456 00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.599 more modern, more hip name for it, But I feel like I've 457 00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.279 known enough to be dangerous as far as what the younger folks are using. 458 00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.200 Like you remember when they started saying that's cap. That was probably the first 459 00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.559 time that I realized I was getting older. Yeah, So I didn't know 460 00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:22.319 that meant for a while. Yeah. So cap that's cap means it's you 461 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.119 know, it's not true. Yeah, and their capping meaning they're lying. 462 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.279 So standing on business I just thought meant you were like gonna stand up for 463 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.880 yourself. Like that was the very loose definition that I had come to. 464 00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:40.559 So I'll tell you the two definitions that we have here. One is from 465 00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:45.240 a USA Today article that I guess is quoting Drake as maybe he got this 466 00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.759 phrase going, I don't know, and then the others from Urban Dictionary. 467 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:56.519 But here's what. Here is the Instagram story that Penny Boon posted I think 468 00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:59.319 yesterday. It's since been deleted, but here's what he did. Obviously, 469 00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:02.039 there's a lot of folks myself included who I didn't. I didn't tweet it 470 00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:04.039 out, but uh, actually I guess I did take a vague shot at 471 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.599 him because I, you know, the thought of somebody leaving and not wanting 472 00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.680 to play in Jeff Brams offense. I mean, I just feel like that's 473 00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:15.960 suspect if you were somebody that was expected to be a very featured player, 474 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.440 because I think a lot of guys would want to play for Jeff Brams offense. 475 00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:21.400 Am I biased, of course, but my point is, you know, 476 00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:23.759 he heard the noise out there about people claiming he was leaving because he 477 00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:29.920 didn't necessarily have a good spring and wasn't going to be first string, second 478 00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:33.000 string, whatever it may be. And and by the way, I believe 479 00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:33.640 that, I don't. Look, let's be real, I don't think they 480 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.000 go through spring telling guy. I mean, there's clearly a depth chart, 481 00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:41.480 and there's a certain amount of carries that that each guy's getting. But I 482 00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.440 just feel like, if you're gonna if you're gonna leave because you didn't like 483 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:47.200 where you were on the depth chart, which I'm not saying. I mean, 484 00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:49.079 he claims he's not that, he claims that that's not it, but 485 00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:52.359 either way, he heard about it. He responded by posting a bunch of 486 00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:55.720 clips from him in practice. I didn't get a chance to see those, 487 00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:57.640 but I saw the screen shot. They've since been deleted, so I assume 488 00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:02.880 that is him sharing Spring Practice highlights of himself to I guess, maybe prove 489 00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:07.559 people wrong, prove to people wrong that you know it wasn't about that. 490 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:14.799 So this is him on his Instagram story, which again it's since been deleted, 491 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:19.640 and it is a seven second clip. I'll let you hear it. 492 00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:23.799 More of the story. I always stand on business everywhere I go Tomorrow, 493 00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:30.160 second or third okay, moral of the story, I always stand on business 494 00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:38.160 everywhere I go, talking about second or third string? Okay, what do 495 00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:43.480 you think he means? Off the top? I feel like he's just trying 496 00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:50.119 to say that he's better then people project him to be. So. Standing 497 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:53.240 on business, according to Drake, means to take care of your responsibilities or 498 00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:59.160 put your money where your mouth is. Urban Dictionary says just to take care 499 00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:06.039 of your business obligations. So is he talking in IL? If he I 500 00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:08.440 think he's talking in IL. Here's a thing. Don't talk in slang. 501 00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:10.680 This may make me sound really old. Oh dude, I love it. 502 00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:15.319 Don't you all don't understand? I'm not. This isn't like, this isn't 503 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:19.440 like a bit, This isn't for content John is so unique when it comes 504 00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:25.039 to his He's like, I don't you know, you've got some young tendencies. 505 00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:30.000 You have an old soul, things that you know, kind of irritate 506 00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:34.640 the older crowd, irritates you two. But like you'll be the same guy 507 00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.200 when you're ninety. I think, like, you know, you're just you're 508 00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:39.559 you're ageless in a way. It's very weird to think because you can go 509 00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:45.039 like totally opposite, right, yeah, but go ahead say using the slang 510 00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.200 and I get it. They're kids. I mean, I'm not even far 511 00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:51.400 off from that age when you really think about it. But he's like a 512 00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:53.039 fifth year dude, so I'm sure you're like the same age. So you 513 00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:58.000 you you have to carry yourself like a professional. You can't just I mean, 514 00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:00.160 if you're gonna post something, don't post that. If that makes sense, 515 00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:05.240 well, and there's no there's no there's no way you benefit from there's 516 00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:07.119 no benefit to that. Now, there's no substance to it. Nobody, 517 00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:10.400 no coach is going to see that and think they want this guy. Yeah, 518 00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:14.320 and they may still take him, but like, there's there's no scenario 519 00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:16.119 that helps you in any way. It could only hurt you how much it 520 00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:19.920 hurts you. Who knows? Yeah, but it's just not worth it. 521 00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:21.760 What would you gain by that? Now? For what it's where? I 522 00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:24.559 guess it was like an Instagram story, so it wasn't like a public thing 523 00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:28.360 addressing it. He just put it out there knowing people would see it and 524 00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:30.599 run with it. But he since deleted it, and I thought, I 525 00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:34.119 thought, Zach Soskin, who For those who don't know who Zax Soskin is, 526 00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:37.920 he's a I don't know exactly who he works for, but he is 527 00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:43.280 an athlete advocate and brand builder. He works with a lot of college athletes 528 00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:45.800 and helps them with the marketing side of I guess their brand where they can 529 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:52.639 get more NIL deals. I hope if Zach's listening then he he he would 530 00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.440 give me the thumbs up that I described him, you know, as best 531 00:34:55.480 --> 00:35:00.199 I could. But you know, he's he's been involved in a a lot 532 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:02.360 of this stuff, and you know, he was somebody yesterday kind of trying 533 00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:07.920 to shoot down the nonsense that was out there about Louisville losing players, which 534 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:13.239 again, all that was essentially not true. They lost two big names, 535 00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:15.599 Boone and Lolay. But I don't think it had anything to do with an 536 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:21.920 il and if and if Penny Boone is you know, standing on business in 537 00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.639 fact? I think that's what that means, right, Like he's showing highlights 538 00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:29.800 and saying, what are you talking about? Second or third string? And 539 00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:32.480 then saying he's standing on business? That I mean, is that not a 540 00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:37.880 direct statement that it is about money? Right? That's what it is. 541 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:42.320 You and I are learning what's standing on business means. So I think just 542 00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:47.079 the very brief definition that exists, it's it's essentially confirmation that it was about 543 00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:51.960 money to him. Now here's where it gets. Here's where it gets to 544 00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:54.679 where you really just have to, you know, guess what you think truly 545 00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:59.039 happened here? Did he want more money after he got here and they didn't 546 00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:01.039 give it to him? So he's standanding on business? God, I feel 547 00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:05.760 like such a dork saying that, Like, you know, what was the 548 00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.519 other thing I was saying the other day that I had to ask you if 549 00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:09.280 I'm cool if it's the bags? Right? Yeah? Like, you know, 550 00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:15.159 was he standing on business about the bag? If in fact he wanted 551 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:20.079 more money after he already got here? And also I'm sure there are unique 552 00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:23.480 situations everywhere but I don't think there's been a single player that has ended up 553 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:30.159 at Louisville through NIL that got a lumps, like got the full payment before 554 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.159 anything, and nobody would do that, because here's the thing. If they 555 00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:36.920 did that, he would have that money and he'd be gone. And he 556 00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.480 you know, so like it's stupid to do that, any kid claiming they 557 00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:43.519 want their money up front. Like you may be good enough to where some 558 00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:45.719 sucker school would do that, and you may stay there and be great, 559 00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:52.000 but like it's just a stupid thing to do. So he's he sends deleted 560 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:57.280 everything. But again he's claiming he's standing on business, which John tells me 561 00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:01.199 he's still claiming it's about in IL money. And I don't think it's a 562 00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:07.920 situation where you know, the check didn't clear. I think one, I 563 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:10.719 think he probably wanted his money upfront and that's not going to happen. And 564 00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:14.559 also, and I don't think anybody would have ever told him he was going 565 00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:17.079 to But also I have good reason to believe that he's a good player that 566 00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:19.920 they did not want to lose. Trust me, it's not like, oh 567 00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:22.840 he sucks, get him out of here. But he's somebody that was not, 568 00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:27.000 you know, dominating the rest of the running backs. I think, 569 00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:32.039 honestly, the young man who transferred from Miami was had a better spring thus 570 00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:38.840 far, and maybe he's hitting the portal early. I guess what is it. 571 00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:42.599 I mean, he could have waited till Friday night. Honestly wouldn't have 572 00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:45.280 been that big of a difference. But him not wanting to at least go 573 00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:50.639 through spring tells me that he doesn't think he would even get the reps that 574 00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:53.400 would be a good look for him in spring ball. Next time I asked 575 00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:55.480 for a raise, I'm telling him I'm staying up. Yes, I mean, 576 00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:58.320 look, at the end of the day, you got to stand on 577 00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:06.039 business, right, because honestly, that's like even if you asked for a 578 00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:10.159 very unrealistic raise and you just said, we look, I got to I'm 579 00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:15.280 standing on business, because that's that's just you saying, nobody's going to look 580 00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:17.360 out for me better than me. So I'm looking out for myself. Right, 581 00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:22.599 I'm standing on business. Less less than one whiles to say, cabin 582 00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:25.599 next time, right, next next time you're up? Actually, yeah, 583 00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:30.119 say standing we're standing on business. You've got to drop the bag, right, 584 00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:32.679 Like that's that's that's how we that's how we make more money. Let's 585 00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:35.880 try that and see if it works out. All right. What you need 586 00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:38.440 to do if you are somebody that struggles with a rectitleist function, or maybe 587 00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:40.760 you feel as if you could have low testosterone, you need to reach out 588 00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:44.000 to the ol of a men's clinic because they are the ones who can help 589 00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:45.360 you with both of those things in a variety of other things as well. 590 00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:50.800 It's a full service men's clinic, a full male staff helping men be healthier 591 00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:52.840 in a variety of ways. They can help you with your intimacy again, 592 00:38:53.039 --> 00:39:00.239 rectitles function, low testosterone, joint pain, hair restoration, weight loss therapy, 593 00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.920 so there's a lot of ways they can help you. They've helped thousands 594 00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:07.000 of men in the Kentucky and area for over ten years. Other imitators have 595 00:39:07.079 --> 00:39:10.760 popped up around town, you know, trying to dip into this business, 596 00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:15.079 and they quickly fold because they can't compete Louisman's Clinic. That that's who you 597 00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:17.800 need to turn to. BABO two four four four four thousand is the number. 598 00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:21.280 Louisman's Clinic. Dot com is the website. Quick break. We'll come 599 00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:23.039 back on the other side we're standing on business for the rest of the show 600 00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:29.239 today. It's right, we're standing on business here. Coffee and company fuel 601 00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:32.239 bu Thornton's certainly appreciate them, all right, Uh, real quick, this 602 00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:37.840 is something I thought that was well done. If you remember last week the 603 00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:44.320 Kentucky coaching search, I mean, it wasn't a circus. I mean again, 604 00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:47.119 Louisville and Kentucky search played out the exact way that it was. The 605 00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:52.000 circus was Calip Perry. As far as how you know, he just you 606 00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:54.440 know, the walk in the dog day. The news came out that he 607 00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:58.920 was just it was it was something. But Scott Drew, do you remember 608 00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:00.559 there was a and by the way, we never updated on this show, 609 00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:04.119 and I'm sure you guys saw that it was real. The whole thing about 610 00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:08.320 somebody calling the Mexican restaurant where Scott Drew was there with a Baylor donor having 611 00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:14.599 lunch. A new station in Waco went to that restaurant and talked to the 612 00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:16.679 manager and they claimed that they had a lot of people calling them. Were 613 00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:21.760 Kentucky fans just trying to you know, I guess get word to uh to 614 00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:24.079 Scott Drew. So as we now know, Scott Drew decided to stay at 615 00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:29.960 Baylor, so he was there having lunch again today with that same guy. 616 00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:35.000 And it's because they've now put up a little bit of a little sign there 617 00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:38.079 in that booth that says Drew's table, and it's a picture of them there 618 00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:42.760 from last week, and he and his friend, who again is a big 619 00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:47.119 financial booster for Baylor, both signed their autographs. So like it'll be, 620 00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:52.880 it'll be remembered, probably more on the Baylor side than it will be Kentucky. 621 00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:53.599 I mean, Kentucky fans will remember it, but you know, it's 622 00:40:53.599 --> 00:40:58.239 a guy they wanted and he said no. But either way that I just 623 00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:01.599 don't know college basketball. We don't get the stories and just the you know, 624 00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:07.480 the craziness that comes with college football. I feel like like college football's 625 00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:10.960 give it us so many just hilarious story situations. I mean, it's awesome 626 00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:15.360 in basketball. I just feel like we don't get it as much. But 627 00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:21.960 I feel like I don't know this offseason, even though it's been going on 628 00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:24.320 for less than a week or a little over a week, it's already been 629 00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:29.760 hectic. And I'm probably a little biased because it's just been hectic around here. 630 00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:32.239 Where we have two of the bigger programs, not only I mean they 631 00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:36.199 are the biggest programs here, but two of the bigger programs in the sport. 632 00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:39.559 And they have new coaches and it's two guys that nobody ever would have 633 00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:43.039 expected to be the coaches here and they're going to have brand new teams. 634 00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:46.480 So it's been crazy. And speaking of crazy, you are crazy if you 635 00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:49.760 don't reach out to my friends at EATL and Needle. And when it comes 636 00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:51.800 to buying or selling a home, look, they've been doing this for a 637 00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:54.679 long time, in fact, since nineteen seventy six. A full service residential 638 00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:59.559 real estate brokerage. Whether you're buying or selling, that is who you need 639 00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:01.559 to turn to because they're going to help you throughout the entire process, make 640 00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:05.480 it smooth as it can be. Just the thought of moving, and I 641 00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:08.320 don't mean like packing up your stuff, I mean just moving, signing the 642 00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:12.440 you know, the mortgage, that kind of like that just gives me anxiety 643 00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:15.880 because it's just it's a lot of adult stuff that you know, I don't 644 00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:17.559 want to do. Well. That's why I reach out to Eveland and ne 645 00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:22.039 Eedland because they'll help you throughout the entire process, and obviously again it's it's 646 00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:23.760 it's a process, but they're going to make it as easy as possible. 647 00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:25.960 And they're also going to save you a lot of money because they will list 648 00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:30.400 your home for one percent. Do you hear me? They will list your 649 00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:34.639 home for one percent. That alone should be the reason why you reach out 650 00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.199 to Elam Needland when it comes to selling your home. So again, it's 651 00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:38.960 elin dot com. You want to check out the website, get all the 652 00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:44.440 information, or you can give them a call two twenty eight hundred. They'll 653 00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:45.360 be happy to hear from you. All right, we got two more hours 654 00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:49.159 to go. We'll continue to stand on business as though. We keep this 655 00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:52.360 thing rolling along, and I'm going to do my best.
