Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick coffee.
Speaker 2: All right? I remember too here on a Friday afternoon,
Speaker 2: beautiful Friday, eighty degrees outside. It is sunny, it's warm.
Speaker 2: In fact, some would say it's actually kind of hot
Speaker 2: out there. But I'm not complaining. In fact, the only
Speaker 2: thing I'm complaining about is when I look at the
Speaker 2: forecast for where I'm gonna be next week on vacation,
Speaker 2: it doesn't look as good as it's gonna be here.
Speaker 2: It looks like it's gonna rain a lot. The temperature
Speaker 2: is not gonna be that warm, and you know, we'll
Speaker 2: still have fun. But I was packing today and I'm thinking, Okay,
Speaker 2: I need I think I'm gonna need like hoodies, not
Speaker 2: like you know, throughout the day, but in the morning
Speaker 2: and probably like post dinner. It's I mean, it's gonna
Speaker 2: be breezy out there. But you know, i'll be on vacation,
Speaker 2: I'll be with friends, family, my kids, that kind of stuff,
Speaker 2: so hopefully we have some fun.
Speaker 3: A couple a couple of years ago, is around this time,
Speaker 3: I went out to La me and my now fiance.
Speaker 3: We had a week week spent out in La and
Speaker 3: that was when we eventually ended up why I ended
Speaker 3: up going to WrestleMania out there, But the whole week
Speaker 3: leading up there, I didn't even really think to look
Speaker 3: at the weather. And it was freezing in La I
Speaker 3: guess a couple of years ago was uncharacteristically cold. And
Speaker 3: all I remember bringing was like, you know, my my
Speaker 3: hot boys summer shorts and my my what do you
Speaker 3: call the Hawaiian T shirts? Right, and like sunglasses, like
Speaker 3: we're going to the beach.
Speaker 2: Laguna beach, I think in West Coast, like you'll never
Speaker 2: need it. You'll never need like long sleeves or pants, right.
Speaker 3: Not furroze my ass off, dude. And it made me
Speaker 3: feel even more stupid because you know, I'm from you know,
Speaker 3: I grew up in the West Coast, so like, well
Speaker 3: not not West Coast, but I grew up on the
Speaker 3: western part.
Speaker 2: Of America, Arizona, yeh Ain and it's west coast, western
Speaker 2: United States.
Speaker 3: But I remember it getting a little bit chilly, but
Speaker 3: just I don't know, maybe just not around like that,
Speaker 3: like not around April when we're talking about like this
Speaker 3: this time, and maybe it was like at nights and
Speaker 3: in the mornings, but your whole days were straight. This
Speaker 3: day it was ridiculously freezing. I remember freezing my ass
Speaker 3: off out in Joshua Tree. The wind was awful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what. So Like, if we're on the beach
Speaker 2: and the sun is not out and it's you know,
Speaker 2: sixty eight or between sixty eight and seventy two seventy three, like,
Speaker 2: it'll if the sun's not shine on you, it's probably
Speaker 2: gonna be chilly. I mean, especially if you're wearing like
Speaker 2: a swimsuit, like if you've got you know, like if
Speaker 2: you're wearing regular clothes, it's probably fine and it's not
Speaker 2: gonna be like freezing cold outside. But it's just anytime
Speaker 2: I go to a beach, ninety nine percent of the time,
Speaker 2: like it's insanely hot. So and look, I'm sure we'll
Speaker 2: get I mean, I'm sure that Florida sun if it
Speaker 2: does come out while we're there, even if it's not
Speaker 2: you know, ninety to one hundred, it'll still be warm
Speaker 2: and nice. But I'm hoping that the good weather that
Speaker 2: we have here today can make its way down there,
Speaker 2: because I'm not sure we'll have much better than this.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's again, I think i'd have the ac
Speaker 2: on them, they'll drive in.
Speaker 3: I think like every time I've went down the Florida
Speaker 3: the same thing when looking at the weather. Every time
Speaker 3: I've went down, it always seems like it was going
Speaker 3: to rain, and the whole weekly forecast didn't look good. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but front from what I understand is it's just like ours,
Speaker 3: Like ours can change on a dime, like it may
Speaker 3: only rain there for ten to fifteen minutes, saying, well,
Speaker 3: usually ruin your.
Speaker 2: Day when it's not raining usually. I mean, it's very rare,
Speaker 2: at least anytime I've been to that part of Florida
Speaker 2: that you have like a whole day where it's gloomy
Speaker 2: like that can happen here for days at a time,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So the forecast is tricky,
Speaker 2: and I should know this by now because I feel
Speaker 2: like anytime you look at the maybe not any time,
Speaker 2: but a lot of times, if you just reference the
Speaker 2: weather app on your phone and you look at you know,
Speaker 2: Destin or Panama City or Fort Lauderdale, whatever, you'll see
Speaker 2: that it has like the rain, like you'll see the
Speaker 2: you know, the rain like it'll it'll show you that
Speaker 2: it's going to rain that day, but like it could
Speaker 2: be a ten minute shower and then it's gone and
Speaker 2: then it's beautiful and sunny out. So I've been misled
Speaker 2: by the forecast when I go to Florida many times,
Speaker 2: but it's still it's just never good to look at it.
Speaker 2: The visual is what gets me, because you know, you
Speaker 2: want to get away from whether that's usually you know,
Speaker 2: not great like usually like this is very rare for
Speaker 2: me to be leaving Louisville tonight. Well, I guess early
Speaker 2: in the morning, and we have sunny and eighty degrees.
Speaker 2: And when I look at the forecast of where I'm
Speaker 2: going to be next week, there's not a day where
Speaker 2: the high is eighty And it doesn't show any day
Speaker 2: where it's just going to be you know, it's expected
Speaker 2: to just be a sunny day. So but you know,
Speaker 2: that's the biggest thing I got to deal with. And
Speaker 2: you know, I'll be okay. It should be a good time,
Speaker 2: all right, speaking a good time Sweet sixteen. Last night,
Speaker 2: some good games, I mean I think, well blowouts, I
Speaker 2: guess when you consider the Florida win and the and
Speaker 2: the Alabama win. But I mean I was entertained by
Speaker 2: watching out Obama, even though they were up big and
Speaker 2: I was feeling good because that was the first leg
Speaker 2: of the parlay. I mean, but like what they did
Speaker 2: last night clearly had never been done before. Nobody had
Speaker 2: made twenty five threes in a tournament game. I think
Speaker 2: the record was twenty two, so they broke it. And
Speaker 2: just to know that Bama is a team that could
Speaker 2: make twenty threes in a game, and if they do
Speaker 2: that would be yes, still unusual, but they're built to
Speaker 2: do that, like that's what they do, that's how they
Speaker 2: want to play. So that was a version of Bama
Speaker 2: that is a reminder that they're They're as good as
Speaker 2: anybody in the country when they're efficient. And what gets
Speaker 2: me about Bama is that they know how good they
Speaker 2: are offensively. They know they can score with anybody, and
Speaker 2: they can get hot and put up points in a hurry.
Speaker 2: That they don't really prioritize defense in any way. They
Speaker 2: can play defense at times, like they've got personnel that
Speaker 2: you know can defend. But I just think they're a
Speaker 2: victim of their own success offensively because defense is never
Speaker 2: going to be a priority to them, it seems. And
Speaker 2: when that happens you're you're vulnerable, especially when you aren't
Speaker 2: making shots. But like last night, they didn't really need
Speaker 2: to be a team that was locking you up defensively,
Speaker 2: because again they made twenty five threes. And then the
Speaker 2: Duke Arizona game, I feel like Duke competed. Thought it
Speaker 2: was a good showing. I'm sorry, Arizona. I thought Arizona competed.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a good showing. They just ran
Speaker 2: into a team that's just got a lot more talent
Speaker 2: and better, and that's what this Duke team is. I mean,
Speaker 2: a Duke Florida title game would be phenomenal. But then again,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe Bam is gonna have something to say
Speaker 2: about that. And then, of course the last game, Cali
Speaker 2: Perry had Arkansas rolling and then it all fell apart,
Speaker 2: and we spent a lot of time talking about that
Speaker 2: in the first segment of the show today, just because
Speaker 2: Cali Perry. There's a lot of layers, I guess I
Speaker 2: should say a lot of components. That goes into being
Speaker 2: a coach. Right, x's and o's is clearly a factor,
Speaker 2: but you can still if you're not great at that,
Speaker 2: you can make up for it in other areas, and
Speaker 2: Cow's always been able to do that. The guy not
Speaker 2: only brings in loaded talent every year, not only with freshmen,
Speaker 2: but also now in the portal, and I think he
Speaker 2: gets those guys to play really hard. I think if
Speaker 2: you were to take the same freshmen and they all
Speaker 2: went to a different school and played for a different coach,
Speaker 2: I just don't think they would be as good in
Speaker 2: February March as most of the freshmen that Cal gets.
Speaker 2: And I think that's a that's a skill, that is
Speaker 2: that's a I mean, that is how he can be
Speaker 2: as successful as he's been overall despite always lacking, you know,
Speaker 2: the acumen when it comes to just strategizing. I mean
Speaker 2: last night was a masterclass and really just a blatant
Speaker 2: sign that that's an area where he's always struggled, and
Speaker 2: more often than not, he's been able to make up
Speaker 2: for it. But you also are reminded that man, this
Speaker 2: guy he lost at Kentucky in the tournament against teams
Speaker 2: that really had no business beating Kentucky. And yeah, look,
Speaker 2: the tournament has upsets, right, like that's what makes it great.
Speaker 2: But think about it, like Caliperry, he lost at Kentucky
Speaker 2: in the tournament to Kevin Allie in the championship game
Speaker 2: with Yukon to Kansas State when Bruce Weber was their
Speaker 2: coach to I mean, I don't even remember the name
Speaker 2: of the coaches that coached Saint Sheen Holloway at Saint Peter's.
Speaker 2: I don't remember the name of the coach at Oakland.
Speaker 2: Jerome Tang got him. And you know, it happened enough
Speaker 2: times at Kentucky to where you could start to see
Speaker 2: why people would say, well, hey, that guy's only got
Speaker 2: one title. Kentucky fans when they were still defending Cow
Speaker 2: they'd said, well, you know, the tournament's random. No, it is,
Speaker 2: but it's not. The tournament could be random at times.
Speaker 2: In fact, there are random teams that make final fours
Speaker 2: that are not random national champions. And there's no program
Speaker 2: that has more championship type teams with less rings to
Speaker 2: show for it than John Caliperry. And when he was
Speaker 2: in Lexington, so it clearly played out that way whenever
Speaker 2: he was there, and then to see them lose the
Speaker 2: way they did last night, it doesn't It doesn't erase
Speaker 2: the fact that he still was able to get his
Speaker 2: guys playing really well and beat Bill self, beat Rick Patino,
Speaker 2: But had he just lost a close game and the
Speaker 2: result is the same. I don't think there's really any
Speaker 2: talk about him not being able to coach when it
Speaker 2: comes to strategizing. But he didn't lose a close I mean,
Speaker 2: he was a close game, but he blew a game
Speaker 2: with the other guy just simply strategizing much better than him.
Speaker 2: And that that doesn't again doesn't take away the two
Speaker 2: wins that he had. They were valuable. But here we
Speaker 2: are once again Cali Perry losing in the tournament, and
Speaker 2: the most talked about thing is once again, man, this
Speaker 2: guy great recruiter, coaches him hard, but man, you get
Speaker 2: into relying on him to draw up something in a
Speaker 2: huddle or you know, scheme up something, you're likely going
Speaker 2: to be at a disadvantage. So I don't know. Like
Speaker 2: for Cal again, credit to him. They came on late
Speaker 2: and they played really well for like eighty five percent
Speaker 2: of that game last night, Arkansas looked phenomenal. Like I
Speaker 2: kept saying throughout even last week, I didn't predict it necessarily,
Speaker 2: but I said, look, that's Saint John's team. Arkansas's gonna
Speaker 2: give them some problems just because they got some athleticism
Speaker 2: and some size that they just can't account for. And
Speaker 2: the same thing was happening last night to Texas Tech.
Speaker 2: I mean, Arkansas was bigger around the rim, more athletic, faster,
Speaker 2: guys were making tough shots like Janelle Davis when he
Speaker 2: started getting buckets late in the year. He reminded me
Speaker 2: of a really good of other really good guards that
Speaker 2: cal had at Kentucky to where they're just playing with
Speaker 2: the level of confidence that he that he can instill
Speaker 2: in them. So again, Calip Perry is a really good
Speaker 2: basketball coach. There are a lot of things that come
Speaker 2: with what he does that he's better at than most recruiting.
Speaker 2: As I talked about earlier, he doesn't baby these guys. Internally,
Speaker 2: I think he'll he'll do the old they're young, they're young.
Speaker 2: He'll do that in a press conference in an interview,
Speaker 2: but that's just to probably piss off his fans or
Speaker 2: just to you know, have his players back. But internally
Speaker 2: he tells them I can't hide you. So I think
Speaker 2: that's one of the things that makes him great. Like
Speaker 2: these guys grow up pretty quickly with him, and by
Speaker 2: the time you get to February and March. You know
Speaker 2: the old saying they're not freshmen anymore. I know, by
Speaker 2: the way, these guys aren't freshmen anymore. But they're also
Speaker 2: like you know, future NBA lottery picks a lot of them.
Speaker 2: So that's a skill. That's something that makes him better
Speaker 2: than most in that aspect. So, like every coach, great, bad, whatever,
Speaker 2: you've got strengths, you've got weaknesses. Cal has one big
Speaker 2: weakness and it's a really important thing, and it's coaching
Speaker 2: strategizing x's and o's. But he's been so good at
Speaker 2: the other stuff. He's actually been able to kind of
Speaker 2: hide that more often than than, you know, than most
Speaker 2: would be able to hide it. But last night it
Speaker 2: reared at ugly head that that's just not a strong suit.
Speaker 2: Or let's go to the phone lines five two, five, seven,
Speaker 2: seventy nine hundred is the number if you guys want
Speaker 2: to join us. Let's let's go to Alex. Alex, you're
Speaker 2: on sports Stock seven to ninety. What's happening, buddy?
Speaker 4: What's up?
Speaker 2: Hey man? How are you? I thought that might be
Speaker 2: you good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So, looking back on the season and UH and
Speaker 5: the tournament, you know, if you don't ask me preseason
Speaker 5: what my expectations were for Cal. I would say we
Speaker 5: would probably be a top twenty five team, maybe top
Speaker 5: five in the SEC, and then we probably have a
Speaker 5: first weekend March exit. So in that sense, you know,
Speaker 5: regular season, I feel like cal underachieved. Tournament.
Speaker 4: I feel like Cal overachieved for his.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Alex. It's crazy because this Arkansas team in
Speaker 2: Calipari in his first season, it's the best example I
Speaker 2: can think of right now in this current season with
Speaker 2: college basketball. How if the joy and the success that
Speaker 2: comes with March runs. You know, he wouldn't just get
Speaker 2: into the second week and he beat Rick Patino, he
Speaker 2: beat Bill self. I mean that, and they were a
Speaker 2: ten seed. So it's not like you forget about the
Speaker 2: regular season, but like you're not really dwelling on it, right,
Speaker 2: Like the joy, like what happens in March just clearly
Speaker 2: matters so much more. And that's in a way what
Speaker 2: makes college basketball I think unique compared to a lot
Speaker 2: of other sports.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Like you're not even gonna think about the regular
Speaker 2: season in the offseason, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, nobody cared when must struggling in regular seasons because
Speaker 5: we were built for March, and we'd make deep March runs.
Speaker 5: But I think if you're an Arkansas fan and you
Speaker 5: think Cal is gonna come in here.
Speaker 4: And win a national championship.
Speaker 5: I mean I think, why asked, Why would you think that?
Speaker 4: Just look at his track record. The chances are very,
Speaker 4: very low. But what Cal does bring is branding, and he.
Speaker 5: Brings relevant He's bringing high level.
Speaker 4: Talent, and you're gonna get a lot of a media attention.
Speaker 5: But I just don't get why Arkansas would pay all
Speaker 5: this money unless that's just their goal to Hey, let's rebrand,
Speaker 5: Let's pay Cal this money. Let's throw all this nil
Speaker 5: money out and see what happens. And but I think
Speaker 5: if you think Arkansas is going to be a national contender,
Speaker 5: I just don't think it's gonna happen under this contract.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alex appreciate the call. Man, Good to hear from you.
Speaker 2: I think there's no doubt Cali Perry can win a
Speaker 2: national championship because he's gonna build rosters that I think
Speaker 2: will will always have the pieces to where you could say, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not picking them to win it. They're
Speaker 2: not my favorite. But yeah, that's when it comes to
Speaker 2: overall talent. There's not gonna be many Caliperry teams that
Speaker 2: are going to be, you know, subpar. There's gonna be
Speaker 2: teams better because you know, I mean, you can't be
Speaker 2: the best every year, and they weren't the best this
Speaker 2: year by any means. But he's always gonna have players.
Speaker 2: He will recruit high school freshmen, and he'll recruit transfers
Speaker 2: really well, and he's gonna have the resources to do it.
Speaker 2: But it does kind of feel like, man, if that
Speaker 2: guy was gonna have a second title, he'd have had
Speaker 2: it by now, Like, how can you be that close
Speaker 2: and not get it done that many times with so
Speaker 2: many great teams, Like it's a little demoralizing, is it not?
Speaker 2: Because again, like twenty fifteen, best team I've ever watched
Speaker 2: in college basketball didn't get it done. I mean even
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty ten team, I think it was John
Speaker 2: Waldemarcus Cousins. I mean, that team was special. They could
Speaker 2: have won a championship. Probably the best team in the
Speaker 2: country that year. I mean in twenty seventeen, they were
Speaker 2: really really good and they slipped they well didn't slip up.
Speaker 2: They lost in North Carolina in the Elite had on
Speaker 2: a buzzer beater, and that Carolina team won the whole thing.
Speaker 2: And then in fourteen they were hot as can be,
Speaker 2: and it I mean it was right there and right
Speaker 2: there for him. I mean, you got a Yukon team
Speaker 2: who nobody could believe was there a Kentucky team who
Speaker 2: another example of what we just talked about with Alex,
Speaker 2: that Kentucky team did not have a good regular season.
Speaker 2: They got an eight or a nine seed, and it
Speaker 2: made total sense because of the resume. But then they
Speaker 2: turned it onto the tournament. They beat Wichita State in
Speaker 2: the second round, beat Louisville in the Sweet sixteen, beat
Speaker 2: I think it was Michigan in the in the Elite eight,
Speaker 2: beat Wisconsin in the final four, and then beat I
Speaker 2: may have that backwards. But then they lost to Yukon,
Speaker 2: and like, there's no reason that Kentucky team should have
Speaker 2: ever lost to Yukon. So he can win it, but
Speaker 2: it just seems very improbable because you know the team,
Speaker 2: some of the teams I just talked about, like he
Speaker 2: will never coach teams that good again, not only because
Speaker 2: you know he's no longer Kentucky, but like those teams
Speaker 2: that good don't really exist anymore that way, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just different, it's different. So I do think Kentucky
Speaker 2: fans today are feeling a little bit more loose and relaxed.
Speaker 2: And it's okay. This is what I talked about earlier.
Speaker 2: For those of you have missed the beginning of the show,
Speaker 2: when Cal was getting past Bill self and Rick Pattino,
Speaker 2: and that was easily one of the bigger stories of
Speaker 2: the first weekend is that ten seed Arkansas got it rolling.
Speaker 2: And here Cal is once again back in the second
Speaker 2: weekend for the first time in you know, six years.
Speaker 2: So I heard not not it wasn't like constant, but
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of the oh, good for Cal, Yeah, good,
Speaker 2: good for him. I'm happy looking at everybody's better off,
Speaker 2: like I'm happy for him. Good for him, Like and
Speaker 2: you didn't believe that, you just like you didn't know
Speaker 2: what to say, right so to see the victory lapse
Speaker 2: last night whenever he implodes as a coach and loses, Like,
Speaker 2: don't don't try to discuss, don't try to convince yourself
Speaker 2: that you're not feeling great joy from that. And it's normal.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make you like obsessed doesn't even really make
Speaker 2: you a bitter ex. I just think it's it's human nature, right,
Speaker 2: because this is a divorce. You got divorced, and you've
Speaker 2: you know, you've been kind of cordial. It got awkward
Speaker 2: and kind of kind of toxic late. You know that
Speaker 2: you're happy, and you know he wasn't happy, or at
Speaker 2: least he wasn't winning, and then now he was like,
Speaker 2: don't fight it. That's all I'm saying. It was a
Speaker 2: natural thing for you to take joy in him losing
Speaker 2: last night, because look, when you have an ex, you're
Speaker 2: going to compare yourself or I guess your happiness to theirs. Right,
Speaker 2: let's take a quick break. We'll come back on the
Speaker 2: other side talk a little more about these these Well,
Speaker 2: one transfer is already in the mix for Louisville. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry for Kentucky. Cam Williams, the two lane freshman. He
Speaker 2: committed to Kentucky earlier today. And then Louisvill's got a
Speaker 2: visitor on campus, Adrian Wooley from Kennesaus State, one of
Speaker 2: the top I mean again, I didn't know this was
Speaker 2: the thing, but you now get a new ranking and
Speaker 2: a new star level when you're a portal player rather
Speaker 2: than just a recruit at a high school. And he's
Speaker 2: a five star in the portal, so a lot of suitors.
Speaker 2: Louis's got him on campus right now. There's a trend
Speaker 2: here with these two guys that I think again is
Speaker 2: going to become the new norm. So we can get
Speaker 2: into that. Also, got to talk about this Tennessee Kentucky
Speaker 2: game because I got like a pit in my stomach
Speaker 2: because I think the easiest bet is Kentucky money line.
Speaker 2: But I can't do it. I just I can't. I
Speaker 2: can't force myself to do it. I don't think. And
Speaker 2: then last, but not least, at some point before we
Speaker 2: get to five o'clock, I do want to talk about
Speaker 2: Kevin Willard's seeming departure, like it seems like he's not
Speaker 2: coming back to Maryland. Right What a weird, weird few
Speaker 2: days it was for Kevin Willard. So a lot more
Speaker 2: to come. It's a Friday, We're feeling good. It's Coffee
Speaker 2: and Company Filbeth Thorton's on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1: Now back to Coffee and Company uled buy Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 2: So the transfer portal is I think nearly impossible to
Speaker 2: keep up with, even for coaches. Pat Kelsey did a
Speaker 2: random interview and I don't mean like this. I don't
Speaker 2: mean this in a bad way. It's just not somewhere
Speaker 2: I expected to see Pat Kelsey doing an interview, but
Speaker 2: he was on with Dan Dakich on his digital show
Speaker 2: on the OutKick Network. And when he says that they're
Speaker 2: refreshing the portal like every every fifteen seconds, I mean
Speaker 2: he's probably not exaggerating by that much. I mean, you
Speaker 2: just got to you got to keep your eyes out
Speaker 2: there for what players become available and who you think could.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's probably got players that coaches aren't aware of,
Speaker 2: are familiar with, they see them in the portal and
Speaker 2: then they, you know, pull up all the film and
Speaker 2: fall in love, right. I mean, that's just that's and
Speaker 2: I'm sure over time coaches who really not only embrace it,
Speaker 2: but just really like I think one thing we've got
Speaker 2: at Louisville with both Pat Kelsey and Jeff bro is
Speaker 2: that these guys, I'd say more so for Pad because
Speaker 2: he's still hungry and he's not a new and young
Speaker 2: head coach, but he's on the younger side and obviously
Speaker 2: he's climbing the ladder of college basketball now, so he's
Speaker 2: still driven to achieve some big things. And so is
Speaker 2: Jeff Brom. But you know, Brom was was was active
Speaker 2: in high level football before this new world started. I
Speaker 2: think Jeff's just a guy that is so I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just it's it's all he wants to do is
Speaker 2: win football games, and and you know, football is his life.
Speaker 2: And I think he realizes there's no there's no benefit
Speaker 2: in complaining and griping about it, Like, let's just figure
Speaker 2: out how we can make the most of it, maybe
Speaker 2: use it to our advantage because we want to win.
Speaker 2: Like there's there's a I don't to me, Jeff Brom
Speaker 2: has a little bit of a mentality that's like there's
Speaker 2: really not anything that they could do to change college
Speaker 2: football or football itself to make me not let it be.
Speaker 2: You know who I am and what I do. So
Speaker 2: whatever happens, I'm gonna roll with it and make it
Speaker 2: work as best I can. So, you know, I think
Speaker 2: you just get comfortable and like you get I mean,
Speaker 2: clearly you need resources that you can't necessarily control yourself, right,
Speaker 2: Like you could be the best salesman in the portal
Speaker 2: with a lot of rings to show forward or whatever.
Speaker 2: But if you don't have money, then you know you're
Speaker 2: going to be at a disadvantage. So I just think,
Speaker 2: before you know it, this will just be like nothing's
Speaker 2: going to surprise anybody when it comes to really anything
Speaker 2: with college athletics, because it is. It is pro sports
Speaker 2: now it is. But anyways, these two transfers that we've
Speaker 2: talked about today, one is a kid that committed to
Speaker 2: Kentucky out of Tulane after his freshman season and his
Speaker 2: name is Cam What is it Cam? Cam Williams so
Speaker 2: six' eight, shooter average double, figures about ten points a
Speaker 2: game at two, lane and they're still playing and they've
Speaker 2: already landed a guy for next. Year that's just that's
Speaker 2: the world we're in. Now so For, louisville they haven't
Speaker 2: landed a commitment in the portal just, yet but they
Speaker 2: are hosting one of the top transfer guards out, There
Speaker 2: Kinnesas state Transfer Adrian, woodley six' five, combo guard. Can
Speaker 2: shoot it was First Team ALL, conference Ussa WAS Conference
Speaker 2: ussa rookie Of the year and clearly a really really.
Speaker 2: Talented player and he Is visiting. Louisville today so that doesn't,
Speaker 2: guarantee anything but, you know that's at least a. Good
Speaker 2: sign now when it comes to the other schools involved
Speaker 2: here with with with with, LET me i just had
Speaker 2: it pulled, up, here sorry because again when you look
Speaker 2: at and that's one of the things THAT it's, I
Speaker 2: mean i'm sure it, won't change but. It is it
Speaker 2: is kind of a it's annoying to try to follow
Speaker 2: this when you see like thirty schools listed and like
Speaker 2: you just really have it's it happens, so quickly and
Speaker 2: money is clearly such a big factor now that you
Speaker 2: really never know where you stand because you can love
Speaker 2: everything as a transfer about, the school, the location, the
Speaker 2: opportunity their style, of play but if the, money's funny
Speaker 2: then they're out right like THAT'S just, i mean, you
Speaker 2: KNOW so i don't Know where, louisville STANDS but i
Speaker 2: would say getting him on a visit is at least a.
Speaker 2: Good sign so these are two guys that were high
Speaker 2: school recruits, last year, and look maybe this is this
Speaker 2: is going to be the trend here because if you
Speaker 2: go Look At Adrian, adrian wooley he was a three,
Speaker 2: star transfer which by the way now he's the number
Speaker 2: three overall player in, the portal and he's the number one,
Speaker 2: combo guard and he's a. Five star but that's his
Speaker 2: profile here at twenty four seven sports as. A transfer
Speaker 2: but out of high school just a, year ago he
Speaker 2: was a. Three star he was a top three hundred,
Speaker 2: ish player, and that like that's not something to. Brag
Speaker 2: about that's not somebody that you would, typically see, you
Speaker 2: know signing with a Place like louisville or the other
Speaker 2: schools that are pursuing him. Right now but like he
Speaker 2: could be an example of somebody that Before, the portal
Speaker 2: that guy would, have been, you know at at a
Speaker 2: power five school because, you know NOT all, i, mean
Speaker 2: look let's. Be honest if you're top three hundred and
Speaker 2: all those players annually just go to the five best
Speaker 2: the schools within the that are within the five, Best
Speaker 2: conferences like, you know think of the low level schools
Speaker 2: In the big twelve And The big east IN, The
Speaker 2: acc like they probably get guys like that out of
Speaker 2: high school every year before it turned into what it
Speaker 2: turned into now With the portal AND. Within il so,
Speaker 2: THESE guys i don't know if it was, by choice
Speaker 2: right BECAUSE what i was talking about earlier is that,
Speaker 2: you know if you are a if you're a freshman
Speaker 2: and you're not like a, you Know A dylan harper
Speaker 2: Or A cooper flag Or Con, KIN nipple I Mean,
Speaker 2: trey johnson if you're not one of, those guys you
Speaker 2: could probably still get a GOOD an il deal to
Speaker 2: go to one Of those power, six schools power, FIVE
Speaker 2: schools i. Should say, but like you're gonna have a
Speaker 2: tough time playing, because one you know it's gonna, be competitive.
Speaker 2: You're eighteen you're gonna have to be exceptional as an
Speaker 2: eighteen year old to make a big impact, right away
Speaker 2: and there'll be guys that, do that but. Not many
Speaker 2: right so you also are playing against older, Players now
Speaker 2: and that is AGAIN what i keep mentioning IS that
Speaker 2: i think that's the most like unrecognized change here is,
Speaker 2: that yes everything's different With THE, portland nil but that's
Speaker 2: given us guys that are staying as long as they can.
Speaker 2: In college whereas previously players would get out once, they
Speaker 2: knew once they knew they couldn't USE, the nba, you
Speaker 2: know to uh or they couldn't use college to get
Speaker 2: TO the nba because they just were never going TO
Speaker 2: be nba. DRAFT picks a lot of these guys, just,
Speaker 2: Decided yeah, I'm done i'm gonna go play OVERSEAS because
Speaker 2: i can only make money to play this game until i'm,
Speaker 2: you know probably in my. Mid Thirties why wasige two
Speaker 2: three years more in College where i'm not getting. Any
Speaker 2: money but all of this has led to guys sticking around,
Speaker 2: in college which again makes the, product better and it
Speaker 2: makes it harder for freshmen to play at a high
Speaker 2: level unless you're one of the super. Elite ones so
Speaker 2: if you are somebody, like that like we may see
Speaker 2: guys turned down offers From Like, Michigan, state arkansas, You
Speaker 2: know tennessee even can you Know doubt Kentucky. Or LOUISVILLE
Speaker 2: but i. Don't know maybe like you may see offers
Speaker 2: for some of those kids and, they, SAY look I
Speaker 2: know i won't play. Right away i'm gonna go to
Speaker 2: the mid Majors because i'll play right away And then
Speaker 2: i'll enter the portal And then i'll restart. My recruitment
Speaker 2: it's like becoming. A juco it's really what. It is
Speaker 2: so you could either just do it by choice or.
Speaker 2: THESE schools, i mean we've had at least four school
Speaker 2: four coaches IN The, naa tournament talk about not that are,
Speaker 2: still left but since the, tournament started there are at
Speaker 2: least four COACHES that i can think of that said
Speaker 2: they're not recruiting high school freshmen this year because they're
Speaker 2: losing fifth, year senior sixth, year senior and they can't
Speaker 2: go replace those guys with eighteen year. Old kids so
Speaker 2: you may not even, like again either by your choice
Speaker 2: or maybe not by. Your, choice right maybe you're just
Speaker 2: not getting those kind of offers because now coaches are
Speaker 2: selective about who they bring in and they'd rather, go
Speaker 2: experienced proven than an eighteen year. Old kid so because,
Speaker 2: of that maybe That's How adrian jolly ends Up At.
Speaker 2: Kennessas state maybe That's How can williams ends Up at
Speaker 2: tulane because in a previous world they'd get the big
Speaker 2: offers or at least, better offers but now now you
Speaker 2: got to go the lower level to, start out and,
Speaker 2: it really, YOU know i just think this is gonna
Speaker 2: be the new way. Of life you're gonna have guys
Speaker 2: that you know didn't get the offer out of high
Speaker 2: school because those are going to be harder to get
Speaker 2: go to a lower level blow up as, a freshman
Speaker 2: and then they're big time or guys that are, Not
Speaker 2: elite like there are guys that are gonna like, for
Speaker 2: Example Like, mark sears when he was Young, at ohio it,
Speaker 2: was good but he. WASN'T elite i think He wasn't
Speaker 2: he wasn't like the best player IN. The mac so
Speaker 2: you're also going to have veterans that transfer after playing
Speaker 2: three or four years that slowly but surely got better
Speaker 2: and by the, time there like, For Example, terrence edwards
Speaker 2: a good Player At james madison all the, way through
Speaker 2: clearly Was The sunbelt player Of the year and his last.
Speaker 2: Year There But terrence edwards as a freshman or maybe as,
Speaker 2: A sophomore, i mean he probably WOULDN'T have, i mean
Speaker 2: he wouldn't have been able to play at this level
Speaker 2: and has been as productive as he. WAS now, i mean,
Speaker 2: in fact before He WON Conference usa player Of the
Speaker 2: year last year or some bet player Of The year,
Speaker 2: i'm Sorry At james madison the year, before that he
Speaker 2: was six man Of the year in. That league so
Speaker 2: there's gonna be guys who just have to go this
Speaker 2: path to get to the highest level because it's not
Speaker 2: as easy to get those offers out of. High school
Speaker 2: but you're also going to have guys that just develop
Speaker 2: at the, Lower level AND then i think that ends
Speaker 2: up being the biggest question MARK because i think if
Speaker 2: you're if you're looking at these two guys were talking
Speaker 2: about Specifically the Kentucky commit williams and then woollye get
Speaker 2: the Guy visiting, LOUISVILLE today i mean that those guys
Speaker 2: still have a lot, of potential like they're gonna.
Speaker 1: Get.
Speaker 2: Better now will they average the same amount of Points
Speaker 2: At kentucky louisvell as they Did At kennessas State. And
Speaker 2: tulane probably not or, MAYBE not i. Don't know but
Speaker 2: the guys that are eight points per game as a
Speaker 2: Freshman At, illinois state twelve points per game as a
Speaker 2: Sophomore At, illinois state eighteen points per game per junior
Speaker 2: as a Junior At, illinois state when those guys make,
Speaker 2: THE jump i feel like that's more of a risk
Speaker 2: where you, JUST say i HAVE no i have no
Speaker 2: real Clue what i'm. Getting HERE so i don't know
Speaker 2: if it's That like i'm just going to accept whatever
Speaker 2: it is and embrace IT because i love. College basketball
Speaker 2: maybe that's maybe That's why i'm about to, Say THIS
Speaker 2: but i think this is fun. As HELL like i
Speaker 2: know that, there's, downsides right you can't fall in love
Speaker 2: with a four year senior anymore because that's just gonna.
Speaker 2: Be RARE but i think the portal what, it does
Speaker 2: it gives us free agency and you always have a
Speaker 2: chance to bounce back big year after year if you
Speaker 2: have a, down year and college basketball is talked about
Speaker 2: more throughout like it used. To be as soon As
Speaker 2: The final, four ended college basketball didn't get talked about
Speaker 2: it all nationally until, you Know like, draft night leading
Speaker 2: up to, the draft and and and and the REAL like,
Speaker 2: i guess you know things that were covered In late
Speaker 2: march and EARLY or I guess April and may was
Speaker 2: who's making? The decision are they gonna come back? To
Speaker 2: school they're going to go to? The draft didn't that
Speaker 2: seemed to give us twenty years ago whenever we used
Speaker 2: to like that used to be the college basketball. Offseason
Speaker 2: chatter is he coming back to school or is he
Speaker 2: going TO? THE nba, i mean that's still gonna be, a,
Speaker 2: thing right guys making. That decision but that was the
Speaker 2: only Thing from april till your start of the next
Speaker 2: season for you, to like, YOU know i guess there
Speaker 2: were still recruits out there you could, Typically sign but
Speaker 2: now you can go build a brand new team in
Speaker 2: a week with guys that you didn't you never even.
Speaker 2: Heard of in the. Previous world, you know you knew
Speaker 2: everybody was coming back because either THEY weren't nba players
Speaker 2: and they clearly couldn't transfer because they didn't want to.
Speaker 2: Set out the portal, Didn't exist and then the, Hope,
Speaker 2: was okay is he going to come back and to
Speaker 2: college and PLAY for us or is he going to go?
Speaker 2: The pros times, have changed that's, for sure right quick
Speaker 2: break will come back on the, other side let you
Speaker 2: Here With kevin, willards said IT wasn't, i mean it
Speaker 2: wasn't sound that's going to blow. You away, but like
Speaker 2: just the situation overall is. Very Unusual and i've been
Speaker 2: putting off. Long enough Kentucky's beating. TENNESSEE tonight I just
Speaker 2: i just. HATE that. I can't you.
Speaker 1: SAID it.
Speaker 2: I can't i can't put pride aside and and bet. On,
Speaker 2: THEM hey i just can't, open, now, yeah, man yeah
Speaker 2: maybe maybe. Now More maybe i'm now at least a
Speaker 2: little more likely to making, the wager Knowing that i've
Speaker 2: at least, Said it.
Speaker 3: You've done polluted the air.
Speaker 2: WITH it, i mean don't you think?
Speaker 1: It?
Speaker 2: TOO like, I mean I like.
Speaker 3: I said i felt good about it, all WEEK but
Speaker 3: i don't something. ABOUT today i.
Speaker 2: DON'T know i like your Confidence like TENNESSEE because I
Speaker 2: went tennessee. TO win i just don't think they're gonna.
Speaker 3: Do it what's what's?
Speaker 2: The LINE last, i checked it was four and. A,
Speaker 2: HALF okay.
Speaker 3: I think it's stayed that way the.
Speaker 2: Whole week we'll check on the. Other side keep a
Speaker 2: lock right Here In sports talk.
Speaker 1: Seven ninety now back to Coffee and company Fueled by
Speaker 1: Thornton's On sports talk seven.

Speaker 2: MORNING is i make my uh fill up the fill up,
Speaker 2: the tank, of course and then make my way Down To.
Speaker 2: NAVARRE beach I think i'm going to like just a,
Speaker 2: less CROWDED destined i think that's kind of what it's,
Speaker 2: been described but there is, you know there is something
Speaker 2: that makes this a little bit more exciting knowing that
Speaker 2: It's somewhere i've never, been, before right going somewhere for the.
Speaker 2: FIRST time, I mean i can't see a place being
Speaker 2: Better than destined because that's like my favorite place in.
Speaker 2: The world although, you know it's our like it's it's
Speaker 2: become our, family vacation like it's it's where we've gone.
Speaker 2: FOR it, I mean i'm still a relatively young parent
Speaker 2: kind OF maybe i don't know, MY kid i got,
Speaker 2: a youngster That's for does that make me a? Young
Speaker 2: parent but so since we've, been parents we've had a
Speaker 2: family vacation Long before moose, was born But when maya
Speaker 2: was a baby baby and we've, been going we've been
Speaker 2: Going to destin and it was already kind of popular at,
Speaker 2: the time but now LIKE it's, i mean we've not
Speaker 2: Gone to destin in years where, it wasn't, you know,
Speaker 2: insanely crowded which does you know that's, not great but
Speaker 2: everything else, about it it's it's kind of like our our.
Speaker 2: Special place so there never been all we got to.
Speaker 3: Change That, mos city That's all i've only Been In,
Speaker 3: panama city and what's the? Other one you guys got?
Speaker 3: HONEYMOON plans i think so it's you're just gonna go
Speaker 3: where she tells you. To, go YES so i need
Speaker 3: to get. A passport i.
Speaker 2: Know, that yeah. Don't don't don't drag your feet on
Speaker 2: that because it costs a lot, of.
Speaker 3: Money don't they don't.
Speaker 2: THINK it's i think it's. SUPER expensive i mean there's
Speaker 2: a cost ASSOCIATED but i don't remember it being like.
Speaker 2: Real Expensive now i've heard but it takes forever to,
Speaker 2: get them so. We see i've heard.
Speaker 3: Conflicting remarks i've heard people, say That and i've heard
Speaker 3: people say.
Speaker 2: They're because they're not consistent BECAUSE that, i mean like
Speaker 2: we we Went to cabo a couple of years ago
Speaker 2: and we had a disaster with one of the one
Speaker 2: of our friends that was going with us because she
Speaker 2: she ordered her passport needed to. Be UPDATED and i
Speaker 2: mean it's set on, the thing like, you know you
Speaker 2: might want to pay the extra to have it like
Speaker 2: sped up to go through like the, expedited process but
Speaker 2: the time range even if, it was, YOU know i
Speaker 2: think they said she could get it in one to,
Speaker 2: three months and if it was, three months she still
Speaker 2: would have. Been safe so, she, thought, okay, well no
Speaker 2: if it's going to take, three months we still. Got
Speaker 2: time like she was ahead. Of, schedule yeah but then
Speaker 2: you just never know when you're gonna. Get it so
Speaker 2: it took forever and. She didn't she didn't get it.
Speaker 2: In time so they had to get on a they
Speaker 2: had to change their flight the day before, we left
Speaker 2: and instead of, you know flying with us and connecting
Speaker 2: or having you connecting Flight, in dallas they had to
Speaker 2: fly a day Early. To houston drive, you know Fly
Speaker 2: to houston and go to like the you could apparently
Speaker 2: there was like three places in the country you could
Speaker 2: make an appointment and go, get them. Like physically one Was.
Speaker 2: In chicago they had. No appointment so she made an Appointment,
Speaker 2: in Dallas flew, I'm, sorry houston, flew there got, the
Speaker 2: passport and then drove and met us At the dallas
Speaker 2: airport the. NEXT day i mean, That's yeah so, YOU
Speaker 2: know i would be very very early because we had
Speaker 2: people who put in to get theirs renewed that were
Speaker 2: on the same trip, with us that put it in
Speaker 2: like a month after her and got it like long before.
Speaker 2: We left she just. Never, know okay don't leave it up,
Speaker 2: to it don't drag it because YOU and I are
Speaker 2: YOU AND i i, feel like are alike more than people.
Speaker 2: May realize we are the kind of dudes who would
Speaker 2: procrastinate and get screwed out of a trip because we
Speaker 2: just because we were dragging. Our FEET like, i like
Speaker 2: my wife prevents me from this, a lot like, every day,
Speaker 2: AND like i, DON'T know i don't know I'D be i,
Speaker 2: Don't know. I'M alive i wouldn't be live, without HER,
Speaker 2: like i, YOU know i just she Kind OF again i,
Speaker 2: SAY this i don't ever think about it in my,
Speaker 2: everyday life but it's come up on the show at
Speaker 2: least twice this Week where i'm talking, about It and, i'm,
Speaker 2: LIKE yeah I think i'm kind of one of her
Speaker 2: kids in a no, onward way like she has to,
Speaker 2: kind of, you know keep me alive and keep me
Speaker 2: together like she does our daughter. And SON so i
Speaker 2: appreciate her in a. Major Way, All right i'm just
Speaker 2: going to tell YOU what i like. Right, now okay
Speaker 2: this IS what i like. RIGHT now i had it
Speaker 2: pulled up On the FanDuel sportsbook app didn't make the
Speaker 2: wager YET because i just can't. Do IT but I
Speaker 2: Like michigan state minus three and. A half I like
Speaker 2: kentucky MONEY line. I like I like michigan plus nine and,
Speaker 2: a HALF and i don't love. This One but I'm
Speaker 2: leaning purdue plus eight and. A half so what tells
Speaker 2: you the dogs are barking? The NIGHT so, I mean
Speaker 2: i love this BET and i was GONNA put i
Speaker 2: was gonna put one hundred bucks. On it pay me eighteen.
Speaker 2: Hundred dollars that would. Be nice like this IS what
Speaker 2: i want. To do may not put that much, on
Speaker 2: it but like this IS what i feel, good about
Speaker 2: JUST like i felt good about last night until the
Speaker 2: under you know it was a. Bad PLAY but I
Speaker 2: just i. DON'T know. I can't. I can't i can't
Speaker 2: Bet on kentucky. Like that and it's not because like
Speaker 2: it's not Because Like I'm i'm i'm a lunatic THAT
Speaker 2: like i just, YOU know i won't be able to sleep,
Speaker 2: AT night i won't be able to live with MYSELF
Speaker 2: knowing i placed Money on kentucky. To win it's not that.
Speaker 2: At all it's just IF if i Picked like i've,
Speaker 2: Had them i've bet. On them before and of all
Speaker 2: the bad feelings that come with, losing bets this one
Speaker 2: was a different bad feeling almost want of discussed to where,
Speaker 2: YOU know i bet on him to COVER or i bet,
Speaker 2: ON him i bet him to cover, as FAVORITES or
Speaker 2: i bet them to cover, as dogs and when they're
Speaker 2: the one leg that gets you because they either lost or,
Speaker 2: They won like that's A feeling i want. To, avoid
Speaker 2: yeah you KNOW what. I mean now it would be.
Speaker 2: Great satisfying and also like if they WIN and i,
Speaker 2: win money it'll make it, better then, you know if
Speaker 2: they win And beat TENNESSEE and i didn't, WIN money i.
Speaker 2: DON'T know I just i feel that good in them
Speaker 2: in this game just because of, The MATCHUP like i
Speaker 2: just think that, They HAD like i don't think the
Speaker 2: teams are incorrectly seated or anything, like THAT but i think.
Speaker 2: They're better and it's not about the fact that they
Speaker 2: made twenty four threes in the two games They. Beat
Speaker 2: tennessee that was a factor in why they. Did it
Speaker 2: BUT like I just i Think That amari williams is
Speaker 2: going to give them. Some TROUBLE like i don't think
Speaker 2: That that tennissee he REALLY has i mean if they
Speaker 2: if they Consistently Get amari, williams, GOING like i just
Speaker 2: think that's not a good that that won't be a
Speaker 2: good Sign. For Tennessee n you're talking and look the
Speaker 2: Backcourt clearly ziggler and what's the young man's name who
Speaker 2: TRANSFERRED from I, Mean Lanier chas lanier as Well as
Speaker 2: gainey like. THAT trio I mean i THINK it's i.
Speaker 2: Think it i'd give them the, slight edge but not.
Speaker 2: BY much I Mean lamont Butler or lamar Is It,
Speaker 2: Lamont Butler, Lamart Yah. LAMONT butler i mean he's a.
Speaker 2: DEFENSIVE dog i mean. He's big he Was The Packed
Speaker 2: mountain west defensive Player the. YEAR twice i mean he
Speaker 2: he has, shown You as, austin says he can get
Speaker 2: the cuffs out. On you and that really. Makes defense
Speaker 2: when he's just out there with his presence defensively hounding the,
Speaker 2: lead guard that makes you a better defensive team without
Speaker 2: anybody else having to. Do anything and that's what louisll
Speaker 2: did this Year with chucky So otega away probably one
Speaker 2: of the most like under, the radar really good players in.
Speaker 2: College basketball like he's as GOOD as, I mean i
Speaker 2: Just Think, Lama, butler oh take away those. TWO guys,
Speaker 2: i mean even if you give me, The edge. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry if you give the Edge to tennessee with their with,
Speaker 2: their trio it's not. By MUCH and i think on,
Speaker 2: the interior like the Way A maury Williams And andrew
Speaker 2: carr have been playing and what we know they. CAN
Speaker 2: do i just, you know it's really a. Stay away
Speaker 2: but it's also one of those things, THAT like i
Speaker 2: feel so good about this team winning as an outright
Speaker 2: underdog that like it'd be foolish for me not to
Speaker 2: try to cash in, on, That right but, it's them,
Speaker 2: it's them and it just. Feels weird but money will
Speaker 2: make it not, feel weird. Right anyways so, but again
Speaker 2: you say You, like TENNESSEE and i don't want to
Speaker 2: talk you out. OF it i Do.
Speaker 3: LIKE tennessee i don't. Know why there's just nothing's. Pushing
Speaker 3: me i'm like not waking up feeling like this feels
Speaker 3: like a. Cat's DAY like i.
Speaker 2: DON'T believe i don't believe at all in, the well,
Speaker 2: you know they beat, him twice, but man you can't
Speaker 2: do it a. THIRD time i don't believe in that.
Speaker 2: At ALL and I just tennessee will have to, be
Speaker 2: elite not. E lead but, in look they are a good.
Speaker 2: Defensive TEAM but i Feel like tennessee they're gonna have
Speaker 2: to really Just lock, KENTUCKY down, i think to win,
Speaker 2: this game because it's been proven if they try to
Speaker 2: beat them playing the Style that kentucky wants, to play.
Speaker 2: THEY'LL lose i MEAN that's, i mean they shot forty,
Speaker 2: something threes? WAS it, I mean, I'M exaggerating, I think
Speaker 2: but Like, in knoxville they got baited into a three
Speaker 2: point Game. With kentucky kentucky made twelve of them and shot.
Speaker 2: FIFTY percent, i mean that's just playing them at, their
Speaker 2: GAME which i just Feel Like rick barnes is smart
Speaker 2: enough to not try to. Do That but i've Now
Speaker 2: seen kentucky because of, their injuries they've not been able
Speaker 2: to play as fast as they. Want to and you,
Speaker 2: Know What mark pope's Realizes that i've got some really
Speaker 2: skilled bigs we can do some. Things With andrew carr's
Speaker 2: a really, skilled guy can shoot it, good Touch And
Speaker 2: amari williams is just a matchup nightmare because he's physically
Speaker 2: humongous and he's not super polished around, the rim but he's,
Speaker 2: good enough and also he's a. Great passer i'm about to, throw,
Speaker 2: up sorry Gassing up kentucky as they're about to play
Speaker 2: In the. Sweet sixteen the hell's wrong. With me let's
Speaker 2: get to. A break we'll figure it out at some
Speaker 2: point what we're gonna, do tonight and we're riding, again together,
Speaker 2: all right you? Hear me, damn right keep. It Locked
Speaker 2: it's cofee. And company Feel about Thornton's On sports talk
