The Gators continue to have one recruiting advantage over Kentucky, and that is that while Kentucky always has one of the worst football teams in the Nation, Florida over the past 30 years or so frequently has one of the better ones, which tends to bring recruits of all types to major games.

You're not the only UK fan I have heard say that lol....but congrats on getting the Harrison brothers...those 2 going up against Hill and Walker should make for some exciting battles in the coming years...hopefully we can land at least 1 of Randle, parker, Embid, or Johnson....I would be ecstatic with any of those to go with Hill and Walker

Well, if we get Johnson, Hill and Walker might already be gone before Johnson gets to campus...

I was at the UK-MSU game yesterday, less noise than an Opera, no atmosphere at all.

I am not a football fan at all, but I did watch much of the LSU/UF game yesterday after coming home from Orlando on a trip to see folks that I consult with about engineering stuff.
I was impressed.
Can Billy D give the same message that winning in the trenches is the way to win games to players that were "the $h1t" in HS? I hope so.
At the next level it is even more important. Would MJ even be in the conversation about being the GOAT if he hadn't put in the effort to improve his D? To me that makes him in the conversation and probably at the top spot.

At most colleges with big-time sports programs, profits from football help subsidize other sports. Does basketball subsidize football (and other sports) at UK?

They (uk) steal money from the SEC in the sport that makes the money for the conference (football) and spend it disproportionately on the only sport they care about (basketball). I really wish we would kick kentucky out of the SEC as they are just leaches and have a slimeball cheating coach in the one sport they care about. I actually respected them when they had OTS who did it the right way without cheating.

I've heard that UK football still brings double the money in that basketball does, despite the huge disparity in quality

i dont think booting the SECs best B Ball team would be helpful for the SEC in the world of College Basketball. When Bama wins the MNC and Kentucky wins the B ball National Title its only good for the SEC IMO. I hate Kentucky in basketball but i appreciate what they do for the SEC in terms of respect in the basketball world

^^ boot them it's a simple economic decision. They take more money from the conference than they make for us. They belong in the big 10 anyway. Football is what drives revenues and profits for our league. Always has always will. And Florida is the best basketball program in the SEC since Billy D has arrived. And we do it the right way, so I can hold my head high saying that.

Booting UK from the SEC is the dumbest thing I've ever heard if you love basketball. If there was no UK in the SEC we'd probably have a lot more conference titles, but they wouldn't mean squat from a national perspective. Our 2 (sometimes 3) games against UK each year are must see national TV events. You can't buy that kind of pub. If UK left, all SEC teams would suffer as result. Don't get me wrong, I dislike Cal as much as anyone, but he'd still get the same recruits whether UK was in the SEC or not. I would argue that UK leaving would hurt our recruiting.

So back to the title of the thread--how did the visits go? Trust me if we got rid of football at UK I wouldn't shed a tear. I honestly hate the sport personally!
