Main Theme: UK Basketball Roster—Milan Momcilovich Recruitment Drama, Rumors, and Fan Culture

---

Episode Overview

This episode revolves around the Kentucky Wildcats' ongoing pursuit of high-profile basketball transfer Milan Momcilovich, examining the latest rumors, potential roster implications, and the influence of fan-generated online “insider” culture. Interwoven throughout are the show’s signature banter, running jokes about jelly beans, and playful skepticism about internet sources. The hosts also touch on NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) dynamics, the uniqueness of Kentucky basketball fan community, and how hope (or anxiety) rides on one recruit.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Milan Momcilovich Recruitment Saga

• Initial Update:
  • Matt opens the show discussing the confirmed return of Milan Momcilovich to college basketball and the anticipation surrounding his college decision.
  • The main suitors: Kentucky, St. John’s, Louisville, and Arizona. Recent reports added Arizona after one of their players stayed in the draft, creating roster space (05:00).
• St. John’s Out?
  • St. John’s just landed Baylor transfer Tunde Yessufu, a player at Momcilovich’s position, seemingly eliminating them.
  • Matt, Drew, and Shannon analyze why each contending school makes less sense compared to Kentucky (08:00-10:30).
• Fit at Kentucky:
  • Hosts agree Momcilovich is a ‘perfect fit’ for Mark Pope’s system, which values three-point shooters (08:04).
  • Drew: “It's like it's made for him...It's Mark Pope's offense. All he does is shoot threes. Come take 8 to 10 a game if you want them.” (08:04)
• Why This Recruiting Battle Matters:
  • Matt emphasizes the stakes: If Kentucky can’t land a player this well-matched, “I'm just going to assume we're never getting anyone...” (12:17).

2. The Power (and Pitfalls) of Online "Insider" Sources

• Skepticism and Humor:
  • Hosts poke fun at the proliferation of anonymous “insider” accounts (JQ2526, WayneTurner461, etc.), questioning their credibility and poking fun at fan willingness to believe shadowy sources (15:35-17:45).
  • Matt, paraphrased: “Why am I believing JQ2526? Who is that? ... Are Twitter people real?” (16:25)
• Fan Participation:
  • Callers and anonymous texters (“Awesome Eric” from Washington State) chime in with "scuttlebutt," further blurring lines between real and wishful thinking.
  • Evidence is assessed live, including a DM with an alleged insider claiming “St. John’s is out. They’re out of money. He’s coming to Kentucky.” (33:53-39:15)
  • The team embraces these rumors with playful skepticism—if Momcilovich picks Kentucky, they’ll credit “Awesome Eric” and “Jacob in the DMs.”

3. Roster & Team Implications

• Projected Lineups:
  • Callers prompt speculation on a starting five if Momcilovich joins. Four spots are solid (Diallo, Wilkins, Momcilovich, Moreno), with the fifth ("wild card") up for debate (35:53-36:59).
  • Drew: “Cam Williams and Momcilovich would be a lot of fun...if Milan's the four...But if those two are knocking down threes, I mean, that sets up an offense that makes everyone better.” (36:34)

4. Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) and Locker Room Dynamics

• Larger NIL offers for Momcilovich raise concerns about potential team jealousies.
• Matt: “If we pay Momcilovich $7 million, do you think it makes the rest of the team mad since they will have taken much less?”
• The consensus: College isn’t like the pros, but with NIL money rising, attitudes may shift. Drew: “If you were at Furman last year and you have $3 million…you’re probably not that upset that someone’s getting a little bit more.” (26:57-27:19)

5. Banter, Running Jokes, & Community Culture

The “Jelly Bean” Motif

• Ongoing joke/report: Momcilovich says “Jelly Bean” in his mind before shooting threes.
  • Discussion of NIL opportunities with jelly bean brands, Kentucky Fried Chicken (which purportedly sells chicken-flavored jelly beans), and promotional gags (11:10-12:58, 31:03-33:17)
  • Matt: “I will personally ensure…he gets a jelly belly. I’ll call the CEO of Jelly Belly myself...” (11:10)
• Kentucky Fried Chicken–flavored jelly beans discovered; hosts debate which flavor (chicken, corn, or gravy) is least offensive (31:25-33:17).

The “Banner Boys”

• Shannon jokes that fans should not hang a “Come Home Milan” banner—given the track record of banners preceding recruiting “strikes,” they’re bad mojo (18:47)

Internet Source Nostalgia

• Caller reminisces about past UK message board legends (Paul Smith, Winky Face, Mark Maggard).
• Matt reflects on his old role as “McGlore52,” another nod to UK fan culture’s history of anonymous scoopers (49:08-50:34).

Pool Ducks & Vitamins

• Brief digression: Matt describes becoming attached to ducks visiting his pool, promising to name one “Milan” if the player commits (47:21-48:07).
• Vitamins: Shannon and Matt debate if “One-a-Day” multivitamins are actually helpful or just marketing (29:37-30:48).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Drew Franklin:

  “I'm to the point. I would be a huge disappointment because I've pretty much talked myself into it happening. I'm just waiting on it. But again, that's not with like any scoop. That's just me being a fan and realizing what the opportunity he would have.” (08:04)

• Matt Jones:

  “If we don't get him, I'm just going to assume we're never getting anyone...” (12:17)

• Shannon (on rumors of Kentucky's player Zoom call with Milan):

  “I feel good about it if it’s true, but we don’t know if it’s true. We just need the banner boys not to put up a come home Milan…we're striking out there too. Like that's not good.” (18:47)

• On anonymous tips:

  “Drew, if we're gonna trust JQ2526, we have to trust awesome Eric. I know for a fact St. John's is out…Write it down.” — Matt reading a text from “Awesome Eric” (33:53)

• Jelly Bean NIL Bit:

  “I'll call the CEO of Jelly Belly myself, and I will get this thing situated.” — Matt (11:10)

• Shannon on trusting anonymous DMs:

  “There’s no way you don’t believe it…I could put anybody’s name in my phone as anybody.” (40:25)

Summary

This lighthearted, rumor-filled episode captures Kentucky fans’ unique blend of basketball obsession, skepticism of online “insiders,” and willingness to hope (and joke) their way through the summer’s tense recruitment period. It’s a prime example of KSR’s ability to turn one recruiting drama into an hour-long celebration of (and therapy session for) Big Blue Nation.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

This is Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio Thursday, May 28th. I'm Matt Jones here on my final day away from Lexington. We'll be back tomorrow for the KSR Golf Scramble in Lexington, which I cannot wait for at the UK Golf Club. Be like 40 teams there tomorrow, split over two courses and it should be a lot of fun. Everybody's gonna be there. Should be great. 859-280-2287's Clark's Puppet Shop phone line, a Vision Auto Glass text machine. 777-277-45254. In this edition, sponsored by the TJ Smith Law Office. If you call TJ, I don't know if you've heard about this, but he'll make them pay. Drew Franklin is in Lexington and Shannon the dude is back. Shannon, I actually saved a couple of topics for you because I felt like they were your kind of topics and I wanted to wait till you were here and I thought you were going to be here tomorrow, but you're here today. So we will do both of those over the course of the show.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Surprise. I'm here early and I'm looking forward to doing it.

[Matt Jones]

Looking forward to doing the topics.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Looking forward to doing the whole the scramble Tomorrow is going to be fun. Today's show is going to be fun. I'm here for it.

[Matt Jones]

It's great and you know what? It's been a fun week. My canes won last night. It's now 3 1. I went to the, to the Reds game. They lost in New York but it was still fun to go to. And Drew Franklin News just kept coming all day yesterday was, you know, I read this article about ways to be on your phone last year. One of them was have a baby but I didn't feel like that was something that I could just do that my fingers do.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

You did that one for you.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Caller]

See.

[Matt Jones]

Do you feel like that works? Like you, you just went through. Are you on your phone last? Oh no.

[Drew Franklin]

The most the day I don't even know where my phone is. Usually I got. I'm holding the baby with both hands and my phone who knows where it is.

[Matt Jones]

So, so that works. There are the New York magazine has 59 ways to use your phone less. I have not gone through them, but I saw that one of them was have a baby and I just didn't think that was an easy one. But you've done it. So like you, you know now that that is a way that works, correct?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I highly recommend it. Now I had another, I think it's 3:30 or 4. I got up today that that's a little bit of a struggle. But if you're wanting to stay away from screens, baby will definitely keep you occupied.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I was not able to do it yesterday because with all that was going on with the restaurant and then it was a big sports news day and I want to go over the, the most, probably the most boring part of yesterday is without question long term, the most important which is that that Senate bill came out and I was a little bit surprised, to be honest with you. What is in it. So I want to do that but I'm not going to lead with it. I think we have to lead with Momcilovich who decided yesterday. I, I think he had probably decided a day or two ago but he announced yesterday that he's coming back to college and you know, announced at about 9 o'clock and now the question is when did. Where is he going? Adam Zagoria put out that he'll make an announcement this weekend is where he's going. Initially it had been thought Kentucky, St. John's and Louisville. Yesterday people added Arizona because Arizona lost one of their players co op decided to stay in the draft. So now they have to go and get people. They apparently reached out to Milan. So there are now four suitors. Then last night St. John's gets a commitment from A player from Baylor whose name I don't know how to pronounce. Drew. What is it? Yande. What's the. What's his name? What's the second part of that?

[Drew Franklin]

Tunde. Yes. A Fu.

[Matt Jones]

Is that correct? Yeah, Fu.

[Drew Franklin]

That's how I say it. And I feel like I say it the right way.

[Matt Jones]

Can you say it a lot?

[Drew Franklin]

He hasn't corrected me yet.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Yeah. Can you say it in a sentence? It's like spelling, but yes. I think that's.

[Matt Jones]

Yes, a Fu. He can.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Can you say it? Yes, Foo. I can. So he commits to St. John's and a lot of people think, okay, well, that means they're out. I have heard over the last 48 hours, I've seen three national people. Drew. Say it was down to Kentucky. St. John's Kentucky, Arizona and Kentucky. Louisville are the three that I've seen. So it's always a different team, but Kentucky is always in it. Are we going to get him, Mr. Franklin?

[Drew Franklin]

You know, I don't want to do any KSR cursing and I don't want people saying, I'm. You know, I know something. I'm just sitting in my chair as a fan, just looking at this like everyone else, but I feel really good about it. There's just Kentucky. It's like it's made for him. It's Mark Pope's offense. All he does is shoot threes. Come take 8 to 10 a game if you want them. How much money you want? Oh, yeah, we got that. Everything you need is right here. I'm to the point. I would be a huge disappointment because I've pretty much talked myself into it happening. I'm just waiting on it. But again, that's not with like any scoop. That's just me being a fan and realizing what the opportunity he would have.

[Matt Jones]

I agree. I think it would be. Listen, it is perfectly set up. You know, we need him. We need exactly him. You know what we need? We need a guy who can shoot threes and help us generate offense and provide spacing on the floor. Because we got a lot of athletes who can get to the rim. Do we know a guy like that? How about the guy that. That shot almost 50% from 3 last year? How about that guy? How about the guy that would be a top five transfer in the transfer portal. How about that guy? If you get him, he's exactly what you want. And then let's look at the three schools that allegedly were up against St. John's just got a player at his position. Drew, you can't we. He can't go there. They already got somebody. Yes, a foo. He. So. So Noah Foo to St John's he. He's. Are you be a fool, Shannon. If he goes to St. John's they just got somebody.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

That's right. And Jeff Goodman's wrong. He said St. John's he's not going to St. John's after getting that player yesterday.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so that. So there we go. So there's one, then. Louisville. Louisville, by my count. I did some addition, Drew, the other last night. Louisville, by my count, has 43 players on their roster right now. There's no way he can go there.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Can they afford him at this point?

[Matt Jones]

What. What are they paying for their roster? Okay, Mr. Musk, where are you getting this money?

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Like, the New York Yankees, Their payroll?

[Matt Jones]

I mean, we know they're going to throw it away, but let's hope they don't throw any more away. So, Drew, I'm eliminating them. And then that leaves Arizon. I saw a quote last year from Tommy Lloyd. Now that maybe this is a fake quote. I didn't do the research. I had too much going on. But I did see a quote from Tommy Lloyd where he said something like, I just don't believe in shooting a ton of threes like a lot of these modern offenses. Well, right there, that should keep him from Arizona, Drew. So, I mean, if those are the three teams, we need him, they all have something, I would think that would make. I mean, I feel like we. Mark, we can't lose this one, can we?

[Drew Franklin]

No, I don't think so. In Arizona, I mean, Tommy Lloyd's a great coach. They've had a better program than we've had the last few years. But you're right about three point shooting. They're towards, like, the bottom of the country in taking threes. Whereas, you know, Pope wants to be number one in the country at taking threes per game. It's like all the stars have aligned. Just put your pen to paper. Let's get it done. Let's go. Have a good season.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. We now know that we'll call you Jelly Bean. Right. Will get you. I will personally ensure Shannon, he gets a jelly belly in. I. I don't. What? What? I'm gonna do it. Well, you weren't here yesterday. Every time he shoots a three before he shoots it, he says in his mind, jelly Bean.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

What did you know? I haven't seen that. How do you say that?

[Matt Jones]

Because I don't know. But. Yes, but, Shannon, look, if I told you, you know what if I told you there's a player out there that right before he shoots screams, Jelly. Well, not screams. He just says in his mind, I

[Shannon (Co-host)]

want him to scream it.

[Matt Jones]

You want him to go jelly, man? Actually, that is better if he were to do that, but I think he says it in his internal mind. Yeah, I'll get. I'll call the CEO of Jelly Belly myself, and I will get this thing situated. Okay.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

I like this guy before. Now you're telling me that he yells out jelly Bean before I'm in all in on this guy.

[Matt Jones]

His name is Milan, which is known for, like, modeling and beautiful women and all this. It's. It's. It's probably my least favorite city in Italy. Honestly, I. It's. There's. The Duomo's beautiful, but I don't. The rest of the city's kind of whatever. But you know what? They have great food. They have great, you know, a lot of talented people there. So that fits. And we call him Jelly Bean, and he plays the position that we want. Drew, if we don't get this, I'm going to be honest with you. If we don't get him, I'm just going to assume we're never getting anyone, and then you just tell me who's on the roster. That's kind of where I am right now. I agree.

[Drew Franklin]

It's so perfect. We like Jelly beans. Milan, if you're listening, come yell it all you want.

[Caller]

He.

[Drew Franklin]

He also has Kentucky connections. In the past, he played for Tyler Heroes, AAU team. Tyler Hero's dad was his coach. I mean, what more do you need? Milan, why aren't you here already? You should already be moving.

[Matt Jones]

Wait a minute. The guy. The guy that found our friend in the elevator.

[Drew Franklin]

Me and Chris Hero are on an elevator at 3am If I had known

[Matt Jones]

about Milan at the time, I would

[Drew Franklin]

have been recruiting in that moment. But, yes, we have so many connections.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, I didn't realize that. I didn't realize that he did that. So think about that connection. He has a connection to our friends. He has found them asleep in elevators in the Bahamas. This has to work. So he's going to decide this weekend. If he decides Kentucky, we'll probably spend a lot of time Monday talking about, excuse me, what the team would look like. But I actually think the team all of a sudden look goes from eh to okay, maybe something can happen here. Let's just say he picks one of these other schools, though. I mean, Drew, what do we do then? I mean, do we just assume like. Like, what do we do?

[Drew Franklin]

It'll be hard to beat the whiff allegations. I've tried to avoid the whiff discourse, but if, if you can't get this, I mean we've listed several reasons and there's probably many more we don't even know that they've been talking about. I mean this will be. This will be much more disappointing for Stokes. For me, at least with Stokes, you know, Kansas is right there with a lot to offer. This. It's like everything you need is right here in Lexington. So I mean I would. I'm not going to give up on the year. I still like a lot of the pieces that they have. But it would be a big loss, you know, to be in May, June, whatever it is, a summer loss before you actually play the basketball with what they have.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon, I've realized recently, I think it was when I hit my mid-40s, I need a translator not of what's fake image wise on the Internet. I feel pretty good at that and being able still to figure out what are fake pictures. But I still can't figure out, figure out sometimes where there are stories that have come out, the origination of them, whether where it was. Right. I don't go down there. I'll see something. I won't go down the rabbit hole necessarily. What was the original place this came right. Right. So I got. So you probably don't do it either. I'm hoping Drew or Mario will translate. Do we know for sure? I kept seeing this comment online yesterday, that zoom Diallo, you know, Malachi or Cam Williams, whatever had had zoomed with Milan. Is that true or not? I couldn't tell. Do you know Drew, did that. Did that happen or is that just like somebody just made it up?

[Drew Franklin]

Seems like a big thing to make. I'm believing it. You know, I wasn't on the zoom, so I can't absolutely confirm who said it.

[Matt Jones]

Who put it out first? Do we know?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, one of the Twitter. I can't keep up with all the Twitter people reporting these days. But it was one.

[Matt Jones]

Are the Twitter people report like are they real? I mean anybody can say anything. Are Twitter people real? I don't know. I'm not trying to conversation and I'm not trying Shannon, I'm not trying to be rude. Okay. I had a conversation last night. I'm not going to embarrass the person but with a person who is well respected in the UK basketball sports community. Community. And I asked them something and they with a straight face said to me, will you know what JQ25 26 said, well, it's gotta be true. They said that to me with a straight face like. And I go, who is that?

[Drew Franklin]

That's a Chaos board legend. That's a Chaos board legend.

[Matt Jones]

But what is a JQ 2526? Like, I mean, I know maybe that's. I don't know who that is, but is. Why Am I believing JQ 2526? Who is that?

[Drew Franklin]

Well, JQ 2526 told us they're at the combine. And I mean, JQ 2526 wouldn't. Wouldn't lie to me. I've known him my whole month.

[Matt Jones]

Wait a minute. He told you at the combine? I thought you were having a baby during the. No, no, no, no. He wrote.

[Drew Franklin]

Wrote on Chaos board. He was at the combine, kind of giving updates, you know, talking. Yeah, I mean, name one time jq2526 is lied. Anyone?

[Matt Jones]

I trust him with my six old baby.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

I'm gonna call it jq2520 fixed six a liar right now.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, no.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Yeah. I don't believe you. Is it Jay?

[Matt Jones]

My point is, like, I guess what I'm saying is there was this report which I thought was very encouraging that UK players had been zooming with. With Momcilovich. And if that's true, I like that. I mean, that's a. That's good. Maybe having new people talk to these players is the way to go. The problem is when I go back to the original source, people are like, you know, well, It's Wayne Turner 461. And I go, who is that? You're saying that like, that's a real person now. To be fair, Shannon, many years ago they would have said that about McGlore 52.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

That's right.

[Matt Jones]

That was me.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

You never know who's behind.

[Matt Jones]

So I don't know if JQ 2526, is that McGlor 52 or is that TC Cat back in the day, which was a person that. I don't know what happened to them. So. But Anyway, people like JQ25 26 are reporting that they had this zoom call. Drew, we don't know if it's true, but if it is, that would be good news, right?

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, absolutely. I choose to believe it. I love just zoom on zoom. They could play with that a little bit. I thought it was interesting Cam Williams was on there because, you know, Cam might lose a few three point attempts per game recruiting Milan, but I like that he's on board. Yeah, but I like that he's on board. Yeah. But I mean him being on that zoom shows that, that we assume he was shows, you know, the team's really coming together to try to make this happen.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So if there was a zoom Shannon, which we do not know, and if Cam was on this zoom, that I think is a good sign. He's basically saying come and take some of my playing time.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

I feel good about it if it's true, but we don't know if it's true. We just need the banner boys not to put up a come home Milan. Like we're. Oh, we're striking out there too. Like that's not good.

[Matt Jones]

Maybe the banner boys take this one off. So we'll see. I think he'd be a huge addition to the team. 859-280-2287 Shannon says we're having phone problems but that doesn't mean I want you to don't want you to call. Shannon can answer the calls, especially during the break. So 859-280-2287 what are your thoughts if we get the player? Do you know who JQ25 26 is? And a lot more. It's KSR.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon I hate that commercial so much. That plays right there where they're like, I don't know if we're supposed to say that about advertising. Probably not, but I just hate it because they're like, they try to act like it's a call in show and he goes tell us about blah blah. Well, first of all, thank you very very much for having me. Yeah, I always like to answer the listeners questions like no you don't. You're commercial.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

No, our listeners, you're.

[Matt Jones]

No one's caught and asking you questions.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

It's like we're interrupted by another show.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

How long has that commercial run? I mean we thought that commercial about, you know, the Apple and I. I

[Shannon (Co-host)]

pledge allegiance to the apple. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I thought that one would run, but that. I think that commercial has run longer than anything that's ever been on.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

This one's been on a long time.

[Matt Jones]

Maybe not anymore, Drew, but

[Shannon (Co-host)]

phones are ringing right now. Canceling his spot. The timeshare guy, too. I mean, he's on there a lot of times.

[Matt Jones]

Although I told you, I now have heard him do other things.

[Pets Best Advertiser]

Things.

[Matt Jones]

He's become a spokesman. The timeshare guy. Anyway. 859-280-2287. One person said. Matt, did you read the article about not being on your phone as much on your phone? Yes, I did, actually.

[Drew Franklin]

So that article was working against itself.

[Matt Jones]

It is. Which I give it credit for. It was doing something against each other. Apparently, jelly belly Drew has a factory in Bowling Green.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, here we go. Just add it to the list.

[Matt Jones]

Another reason he could show up Shannon and go diving into a big barrel of jelly bellies.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Wouldn't that be fun saying we. There's a lot of nil opportunities here. Do you like free giveaways for jelly beans? Like for the first thousand fans?

[Matt Jones]

That's right. Get blue and sell blue and white jelly bellies in the arena.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

There you go. I'm saying we're workshopping this right now, live.

[Matt Jones]

One person writes. Matt, don't worry. I get all my news from JQ 2526. I do believe the call happened. If the call happened. Do you think it's at all strange that it didn't include Pope? Well, he's had. He's had calls with him, Drew, so, I mean, I could see how you would set up a players. Only one, right?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, he's been in Florida. I don't know if he's back, but they have the SEC spring meetings. He could have been occupied with something else and had those guys do it. I did see. Did you see Mike Rutherford's tweet being mean?

[Matt Jones]

Oh. About how they had put Mark Pope on a. Shannon, that was one of the meaner. Hang on. I want. I want Shannon to just read it cold.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Because it was. This is really mean. But, you know, sometimes you do have to say, like, they're laughing and it's our rival. But it is kind of funny sometimes. You do, because, Drew, that was kind of funny, to be fair.

[Drew Franklin]

It was. But we would never make fun of Louisville. That's why I just thought it was kind of unnecessary for one time.

[Matt Jones]

Made fun of Louisville. Shannon, did you find it?

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Let's See here the one where they locked Pope in a different room and had him.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, read that one. Hey, just read. Read that from the beginning.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Okay. Yeah. He says they locked Pope in a different room and had him Talk to a YouTube video of an interview with mom Shilovich and told him it was a zoom. Sort of.

[Matt Jones]

That's not nice.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Sort of like when they opened a World A Word document for Creed and told him he was posting on a blog.

[Matt Jones]

That was mean. That was me, Mike Rufford. I'm just saying everybody needs to be

[Drew Franklin]

nice on the Internet.

[Matt Jones]

Every. Yeah, well, I learned yesterday almost everyone is one person, writes Matt. If we pay Momcilovich $7 million, do you think it makes the rest of the team mad since they will have taken much less? You know, I don't know. I mean, I. I've. All. I've heard pro athletes say over the years that they never begr their teammates making the money because they are like, well, at least the owner doesn't get it. So that there's. They. I've heard pro athletes say there's really not that jealousy that you would think if you're making less money than the other person. I don't know how that goes with college, Drew. I don't know. If you say, like, if you're Alex Wilkins and you committed for, say, three and a half million dollars and all of a sudden, you know, six weeks later, Momcilovich gets $7 million and you're probably the leading scorer on the team, how does that go? I'm going to assume it's okay, but it is an interesting question, Drew. Not something that you used to have to deal with in college.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, there could be a little jealousy here and there, but also they kind of, I assume they want the best team possible and understanding the circumstances they're in right now. So I would imagine most of them would be okay with it. And if, in the case of Alec Wilkins, if you were at Furman last year and you have 3 million in your hands, you're probably not that upset that someone's getting a little bit more, because you're probably feeling pretty blessed in the moment, too.

[Matt Jones]

That's true. I think. I think you're right about that one person, writes Matt. I don't think he's worth $7 million. But do you think if we have him, the criticism of Pope's recruiting goes away? I don't know if it goes away, but I think it will be a huge, you know, everything he's done so far in recruiting, you could Put an asterisk on if you wanted to. Okay, well, he got top recruits out of high school. Yeah, but they were from Kentucky. Okay. He got an NBA draft pick when Jaden Quaint's. Yeah, but he was hurt. Other teams didn't want him. Okay. He got Moreno to come back. Yeah, but he was already here. This is one. If you get him, Drew, that. There really is no asterisk you can put. It was a top guy. Big schools wanted him, and you got him. Whether it's because you paid more money or just because you were good at, you know, selling him, you got a big guy. And I do think for Mark Pope, that would be a really good PR victory.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. It'll show that that's the type of player Pope wants, that people see the system he's trying to run and want to be a part of it. I mean, Momcilovich is the best shooter in the country by far. And for him to want to be at Kentucky and play for Mark Pope, assuming that happens, I think that'd be a big statement. He'll still need to go out and, you know, get some high school recruiting going next year. That can't be done right now, obviously, but I think that'd be a huge win and be hard to criticize if you get Momcilovich.

[Matt Jones]

One person wrote in. Currently listening to kf, KSR from Lake Como. I will be in Milan this weekend. Maybe me being there is the good luck we need. Shannon sounds exactly correct.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

If we don't get him, we're blaming you, Right?

[Matt Jones]

You are in Milan. It's up to you to pull it off.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Don't talk.

[Matt Jones]

Take a break. Take your calls. Be right back.

[Parent Caller]

TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call tj.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

He'll make him pay. Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage, here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

What in the world is this?

[Shannon (Co-host)]

George Jones, the king is gone.

[Matt Jones]

Wow. I've never heard this song. I've certainly never heard of a Flintstone jelly bean jar.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Yeah, I'm just trying to find something.

[Matt Jones]

They make Flintstone jelly beans.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

They still have the vitamins, I think. I don't know about the jelly beans.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I remember the vitamins.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

I think everybody had those.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, they did. That was a good way to make you take your vitamins. You know, I. I keep thinking, Shannon, I should be taking vitamins.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Because I'm getting older and everybody's like, you should. You know, people will say, what vitamins do you take? And I like, I don't take any vitamins, but I Wouldn't know what to take.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Well, they've got like, you know, what are they called, 1 a days or. They've got different ones that work.

[Matt Jones]

I feel like it's like shampooing conditioner in one.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

I mean, it ain't gonna hurt you. I don't think it's gonna, but I mean, it's not gonna fix you.

[Matt Jones]

I see a vitamin store and I see all the options, and I have no idea how you would figure out what to get.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Well, like center them. There's one that says, I don't know what men.

[Matt Jones]

What's that?

[Shannon (Co-host)]

That would be central. It's got your multivitamins. It's got everything you need. A little bit of everything.

[Matt Jones]

But again, if you need. If you're getting everything, aren't you getting nothing?

[Lingokids Advertiser]

No.

[Drew Franklin]

Is that their slogan?

[Shannon (Co-host)]

You're getting a little bit of everything? You know.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so you're telling me they sell all those vitals vitamins in those stores? Yeah, but really we just need one. They could close the store and just sell that.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Well, I mean, look, I'm no expert on when it comes to vitamins, but I'm saying if you want something to make you feel better about life.

[Matt Jones]

So you think that'll help me feel better? Yeah.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Yeah. You know, it makes you feel like you're at least trying.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I mean, why wouldn't I believe you?

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Because I have no idea what I'm talking about. Which is usually the case.

[Matt Jones]

You. Apparently there's not a Jelly Belly factory in Bowling Green. Somebody just made that up.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

There you go.

[Drew Franklin]

I have better than that.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

That was JK26. That said.

[Matt Jones]

It probably was. Yes.

[Drew Franklin]

During the break, I did some research. I wanted to do my part in this recruitment. I want to help jmi. You know, we love jmi. We want this to work.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Drew Franklin]

And just couldn't believe it. Just last month, a new company announced that they have jelly beans now. Kentucky Fried Chicken. They're available in Walmart. So kfc, get on the phone, get Milan a jelly bean.

[Matt Jones]

Deal.

[Drew Franklin]

It's already Kentucky themed. It's perfect. It's right there in front of us. Let's make it happen.

[Matt Jones]

I wonder why Kentucky Fried Chicken is selling jelly beans.

[Drew Franklin]

They have three flavors. They have fried chicken, obviously.

[Matt Jones]

Probably. Wait a minute. No, the fried chicken jelly bean.

[Drew Franklin]

Yep. Available at Walmart.

[Matt Jones]

That sounds awful.

[Drew Franklin]

Sweet corn and gravy.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Gravy.

[Matt Jones]

Gravy, yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Chicken, corn and gravy. It's Kentucky themed. Mom Chillivitz.

[Matt Jones]

It's right here. We're waiting for you. First of All. You're making this up. They do not have fried chicken, corn, and gravy. Jelly beans.

[Drew Franklin]

Looking right at it. 1999. They're. They're proud of them. They're very proud of the bag. But I might have to buy these and do a little taste test.

[Matt Jones]

That sounds absolutely gross, Shannon.

[Drew Franklin]

Unless he wants them wrong.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

No, it's disgusting. I don't know who's eating these.

[Matt Jones]

So they're out in stores right now, Drew.

[Drew Franklin]

They are. Amazon, Walmart. This is. This is some April Fool's question.

[Matt Jones]

772-7745254 is a text machine. If you've ever had these, text them if they're on Amazon. Is that what you're saying? Because if they are, I'm ordering.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Get them and bring them to the scramble tomorrow.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, that. That's what we'll do. That'll make it quicker. If any of you have access to these jelly beans, KFC jelly beans, and you come to the scramble tomorrow. I'd like to try them. Otherwise,

[Drew Franklin]

like, it's perfect in opportunity.

[Matt Jones]

I can't tell which one seems worse. Shannon. Chicken, chicken, corn, or gravy.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Probably the gravy. I like fried chicken enough. You could put it in any form. I would probably still like it because I'm a big fan of fried chicken. Gravy I like too, but I don't know about gravy beans.

[Drew Franklin]

I think you get a little burst of gravy when you bite into it. Doesn't that sound good?

[Shannon (Co-host)]

I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

I like very fruity flavor. Yeah, don't make that a drop, by the way. I don't want grave. Oh, all right. If somebody's had that, I'd love to know who's up next.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Andy.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, wait a minute. Hang on. Before I do this. On the text machine. Now, this is somebody who's. Whose first three digits of their phone number is 509. Shannon. See where 509 is just. There you go. This person writes, you can call me by my texting name. Awesome Eric. Awesome.

[Drew Franklin]

I trust him.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

So, Drew.

[Matt Jones]

Drew, we're gonna. If we're gonna trust JK, JQ 2526, we have to trust awesome Eric. I know for a fact St. John's is out. And I know for a fact that St. John's staff is telling people this morning Milan is going to Kentucky. You can write it down.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

That's Washington state.

[Matt Jones]

Awesome. Eric in Washington state says write it down. If we get him, I'm considering Shannon. Awesome Eric. A source in Washington. Oh.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

From now on, yeah. From now on, we're giving them all the credit.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so keep.

[Drew Franklin]

Mark Pope grew up in Washington state. Maybe he knows Pope.

[Matt Jones]

Maybe it is Pope. You think that? Well, but he said. He's saying it's. That his. His source is St. John. Let's just. Let's just go with awesome, Eric. All right, Edie. Go ahead, Edie.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

No, no, it was Andy.

[Matt Jones]

Andy. Andy. Go ahead, Andy.

[Caller]

Hey, what's up, guys? Hey, what's going on? A couple questions here. Do you know what days you're going to be at the bar doing the show next week?

[Matt Jones]

I don't. I have to have, like, a little minor medical thing at the beginning of the week, so I'm gonna be there for sure Thursday. I don't know what's gonna happen the other days, but let's just assume.

[Caller]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

We'll be there around the weekend as well. So.

[Caller]

Okay. Thursday's the day I was planning on coming up in case that day's her birthday. So we wanted to get one last day show before the bar closes. Second question with if we get Munchkovich, which I. I'm feeling pretty good that we will, what do you think the starting lineup is going to look like? My thoughts is that with the three and the four, I'd like to play Cam Williams and Montilovich together and just switch them out of three and four and see if that works. And the other three spots, Marino, Wilkins, and Dialogue.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, I. I think if that happens, and I appreciate the call, I. First of all, you're not going to pay that kind of money, Drew, and not start Momcilovich. So that. So at that point, I think there's four starters locked in. Diallo, Wilkins, Momcilovich, and Moreno. Now, whether or not you put him, Momcilovich, at the 4, and you put Cam Williams or Braden Hawthorne or whatever at the three, or you put Momcilovich at the three, and then you put in Jai or McBride at the four. I think depends on how you get there and how the team looks, but I think you would basically have four starters locked in and then a fifth. It's like a wild card. That could literally be one of, like, four people, depending on how things play out.

[Drew Franklin]

Now, they're pretty deep with forwards, and it's kind of unknown who will step up this next season. So I wouldn't commit to anyone outside of those four. I mean, Cam Williams and Mom Chilovich would be a lot of fun. When you put. If Milan's the four, he doesn't. He's not very physical, doesn't rebound very well. So sec play, you'd give up a lot of that. But if those two are knocking down threes, I mean, that sets up an offense that makes everyone better. So I would almost prefer that. But I say that not knowing anything about what Ngai will look like when

[Matt Jones]

he gets here, I mean, my guess is you're. If you're Mark Pope and you. And you have those four you would look at, you would put Cam Williams, Braden, Hawthorne, McBride in John, maybe even Trent, Noah into a room and say, okay, guys, any of you all, based on this, on where we are, could start as the fifth guy, go at it. That's what I would do. And then we'll see who. Who comes out of that. Who's next?

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Let's go to Adam.

[Matt Jones]

Adam. Go ahead, Adam.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Well, Adam just hung up. Let's try Richard.

[Matt Jones]

Richard, Go ahead, Richard.

[Caller]

Hello?

[Matt Jones]

Yes. Richard. Go for it.

[Caller]

Hey. First time, long time, man.

[Matt Jones]

Who. What's up? What's up?

[Caller]

So I got a little scuttle butt.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. I like it. Eric gave a scuttle butt. What is your scuttlebutt?

[Caller]

Okay, so St. John's is out. They're out of money. He's coming to Kentucky.

[Matt Jones]

Well, that's what Eric said.

[Caller]

Yeah, that's. That's where I'm at. You can check your DMs for a little more information.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Check your DMs.

[Matt Jones]

I want to do this. I want to do this on the screen. You want me to check my Twitter dms?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Is that right? Do you have a color, The.

[Drew Franklin]

The.

[Matt Jones]

The spelling of a. Of a color in your. In your. In your name or in your, like, little picture? Is that right?

[Caller]

Yeah. Three logos. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Caller]

Three letters.

[Matt Jones]

All right, let me see. Okay. Oh, well, now, how do I believe this? How do I know this is really who you're saying this is? I mean, I know you are who you're saying you are, but how do you. How do I know this is from the person that it says? It. It is.

[Caller]

I. Family friend, been in contact for a long time. Know the individual.

[Matt Jones]

All right, well, you combine this that I'm looking at with awesome. Eric Drew. I don't know. Maybe. I mean, this is. Looking at this. If what you sent me is real, and of course, I have no way of knowing, that's a pretty good sign right there that we would be getting him. What was your name again? Do you mind me asking, or you don't want to say?

[Caller]

My name is Jacob.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. All right. There you go. Thank you appreciate the call. All right, well, between awesome Eric and Jacob in the DMS, Drew, I'm in.

[Drew Franklin]

I trust him. JQ25, 26 Even I don't want to say.

[Matt Jones]

I don't want to say who. Who he has. He has sent me a screenshot of a communication with a person, and I don't know that the person this he says he's talking to is that person, but if they are, we don't know

[Shannon (Co-host)]

what to believe on anything. That's the problem

[Matt Jones]

during the break. I'll send you here. Well, you know what? Shut up. I'm gonna send you here. I'll send you what he sent me.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Okay?

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And then you tell me. Hang on. We'll get your all's live reaction here. You tell me if you believe this when I say. Okay. So there you go. I just sent you what he sent me.

[Caller]

All right.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

There it comes.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Now do you believe that?

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, yeah. I mean, if that person is who they say they are, they would know.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Just has them in their contact.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. We're not going to say who it is, but now you. You. Does that make you feel better? There's no way.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

There's no. There's no way you don't believe it.

[Matt Jones]

You're not going to.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

I could put anybody's name in my phone as you could. I could put you in as anybody. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Drew, do you believe it?

[Drew Franklin]

I do. I didn't. I didn't have this person as an emoji user, though. But I trust it.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know that I would have thought. You know, my mom uses a lot of emojis.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

She does. I've.

[Matt Jones]

I like it.

[Drew Franklin]

It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt.

[Matt Jones]

My mom is big on emojis now, so, you know, I mean, you never know who's an emoji person.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Let me see if. Let me see if this person tweets with emojis, because that will tip it off.

[Matt Jones]

Let's not. Let's not. Let's not spoil. Shady Ray is the same quality as the 200 sunglasses dollar sunglasses I used to buy. I'm telling you they are because they are that good.

this is that kind of, you know, I mean, we've had a bunch of these days where we get excited. I guess this is gonna be one of them. But that's okay. I had 14 topics to do today. We're still on number one. But that's okay because Milan has been that exciting. And I've learned about these jelly beans. There are people who have eaten them. Apparently it started in the movie. As in a movie? As a joke. And then they decided to make them. What movie? Drew, was it? Oh, I didn't.

[Drew Franklin]

I didn't see that part. Let me. Let me try to find.

[Matt Jones]

Apparently people say shin and they taste surprisingly like you would think.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Like what? Like fried chicken and gravy.

[Matt Jones]

Like gravy corn and chicken.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

But I mean, jelly beans need to be sweet like you need sugar. I don't.

[Matt Jones]

I agree. And I'm Gravy I really like. As long as they're not black licorice. I love.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

I'm with you on black licorice.

[Matt Jones]

I hate when you get a big bag of jelly beans and then you pull out the black liquor stand.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

The smell of black liquors.

[Matt Jones]

Who likes those? Nobody likes. Likes the black licorice.

[Drew Franklin]

Kentucky does. There's a website. The most popular jelly bean in every state, and that was ours.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Well, then that's the bad taste.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, that's. That's gross. Well, I hope somebody will bring them to the show tomorrow if you have. Matt Norlander has predicted Milan to Kentucky

[Drew Franklin]

now, so that's obviously riding the awesome Eric wave. We see you, Matt Norlander. We know what you're doing,

[Matt Jones]

Jacob. I'm giving them both credit. My mom, during the break sent me emojis of a duck just to prove that she does love emojis. I have two ducks in my pool in my new house, and my mom is, when she has come by, is obsessed with them. And I think, you know, have you seen in the Sopranos? He really likes ducks. I'm kind of becoming like that. I kind of like those two ducks.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Well, you know, they may be the

[Matt Jones]

only animals I ever like. I kind of like them. I don't want them to go away.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

But then they get in your pool and they get it all nasty. Then you'll want them to get out of there. We are duck masters, though. Don't forget all of us. All three of us.

[Matt Jones]

What will they do to my pool?

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Poop in your pool? They wouldn't do that.

[Matt Jones]

No, they're my friends. They're not.

[Drew Franklin]

You need to put on a robe and go out there and wade like Tony. That was my favorites.

[Matt Jones]

I just like, they're so peaceful. And one of them's got, like, the green face, you know?

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Mm.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Name them.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

[Matt Jones]

No, it's just two of. There's just two. And I'm going to give them. I'm going to name. I'll tell you what, Donald. One of them. I'm going to name one of them Milan, if we get this.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Nice duck name.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know if they're men or women, so I can't.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

It's a good way to stay off your phone. Watch ducks.

[Matt Jones]

Adam, that might work. Adam, go ahead.

[Caller]

Hey, what's up, guys? Sorry I dropped a call earlier. First of all, I wanted to say my appreciation for KS Bar. You know, we. I live out by the lakes, and Drew's part of the state, and it Was awesome to get to go up there for multiple times. The first time I went to a father son camp with my. My oldest son, we also got to take our whole family. The latest time I got to take my. My 9 year old to his first Kentucky game and we stopped by KS Bar. So I just really appreciate what y' all did there.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you. And that's gonna be the stuff that. The stuff that was making me sad yesterday or how many people sent me like pictures, you know, when they've done that at times. And Drew put out this like photo album of all these memories. That was the stuff that. Cuz there was, you know, it was great. The various times people would bring their families or etc, that was always, always great. But go ahead.

[Caller]

Yeah. In terms of like Internet sources, you know, back in the days of like, like whatever happened to, you know, Mark Maggard, Paul Smith, you know, the, the cat paws guys and. And then what. Whatever happened to winky face on your text machine?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Winky face ended up being wrong though. Remember he was the one that said that. What I think Jaylen Brown was going to come to Kentucky. That was the. That was the winky face many years ago. You know, I appreciate the call. I think one of the reasons you don't see as many like Internet sources like that is that over the years I think coaches have realized that anyone they talk to might go and put it on the Internet. Used to be you could like talk to your dry cleaner, Drew, and you knew your dry cleaner didn't have a Twitter account where he could put on blast who you were, you know, who you were recruiting. That may not be true anymore. So I think it's led to where coaches don't really talk to anybody or if they do, they're very specific. So I think there are people. I think it's just harder to just have ran. I mean, I remember back in the day the reason I learned stuff. Well, actually, I don't know if I want to tell this.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Go ahead. It's Thursday.

[Matt Jones]

Have I ever said like, how I got my first sort of tidbits of information?

[Drew Franklin]

I know, but you have the floor, Shannon. I would love to know no one else is listening.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

Yeah,

[Caller]

yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know. I gotta think.

[Shannon (Co-host)]

I think it was somebody from UofL, wasn't it?

[Matt Jones]

No, no, no, no. Well, that was for. That was for Louisville stuff. But I'm talking about like in. In 05 06, the way I became McGlore 52 was I had like a source that knew what was happening with UK sports. And I would put it on message board boards and that was kind of how people sort of learned who I was, is that I was, you know, I was McGlory 52. It wasn't bad. Nobody even knew my name. But we'll skip it for right now. Maybe, maybe, maybe that's for a different day. Who's next? Oh, we got 30 seconds. We'll take a break. 859-280-2287. The text machine is 772-7745254. We have 15 other topics. I haven't gotten to them, but ones I do want to get to include the UK football schedule starting and a massive opportunity with the start times for Will Stein plus the college sports bill and some goofy stuff just for Shannon. We'll take a break and be right back. This is ksr. In football, you've got guys from everywhere, different backgrounds, different beliefs, all of it. You don't agree on everything, but you got each other's backs. That's how it works. And right now, off the field hates going up everywhere. Different communities, different ways. And Jewish communities are getting hit hard. That's not how a team operates. The blue square is just one way of showing you've got people's backs. Go to bluesquarealliance.org grab one. Share it. Be a good teammate. Mom, can I have Lingokids? Dad, Lingo Kids, please. When did we become the Lingokids house?

[Caller]
