I love these the recruiting stories we try to get everybody to give us some of their best ones. I love that we got

PJ Carlyssimo in the mix. We get some old school shoutouts including Jim for

Dharmed, Jamal Mashburnper Warner, the best linebacker football.

So a lot of fun ones here enjoy. three-quarter. Carmel, Arkansas, he's going to stop this right down.

And the Kentucky bench is excited as everyone else on the display by Jamal Mashman.

I don't think I've ever seen a more dominant performance

than Ashburn has had in the 1993 SEC tournament.

Okay, Jamal, I've talked to you about the recruiting part of it as a New York City kid.

had gone to St. John's. Yeah. Is there a recurring story from another school

that you've never told or your your go-to story that you do tell? Yeah I mean I

won't mention the school's name anything like that. I remember I'm on a campus visit with the school and the head coach puts like $10,000 on the dashboard and he put that there and he was like that's yours and then I was like I don't

It just wasn't conducive to what I wanted to participate in that could help me move forward.

You know, go back to the quote,

And I also had a lot of coaches
