Mike Safo

Joined today by former Kentucky Wildcat, New York Knick and current star of the Sun Rockers in Japan, Josh Harrellson. Josh and I talk about living in Asia, learning a new language and the safety and beauty of Japan. He talks about being a family guy, raising his daughter, welcoming his new son, and what silly things his daughter makes him do. We chat about Missouri, being a Cardinals fan, and the most famous person from St. Charles. We find out about Josh not playing basketball until high school, why he committed and then de-committed to Western Illinois, JUCO and then finally why he choose Kentucky. He reminisces about how Billy Gillispie AND BBN helped recruit him, the good and bad of Coach Gillispie and what he learned from him. We talk about Coach Calipari taking over when Josh was a sophomore,  the feeling of seeing all the 5 star recruits come in, practicing with them and how, mentally, he dealt with a decrease in playing time. Of course we talk about the magical final four run, the “lob” off Jared Sul
