    And to our biggest rival. Florida Kentucky basketball just became must watch tv and the top rivalry in the SEC again. Like it used to be when Billy D was present.

    If he had gone to any other team but a rival, he still would have been immortalized as a Gator forever with the rest of this championship team. With this move, he becomes just a footnote.

    Wow. I get why kids leave. But have SOME sort of loyalty... seriously... For those that said this is like the ETN situation, I agree.

    I agree. But if UK sees us as their main competition, it was probably money well spent as it served two purposes.

    It's nothing like ETN imo, who left a below .500 team. DA left the reigning championship basketball team. But he's an adult so his choice.

    He seems like a good guy and worked his tail off for years. I'm glad he got to be part of a special team and championships.

    Can't believe he would choose Kentucky. They can't have been the only team paying. A real slap in the face.

    I'm sure that exactly what the pUKe staff told DA. I imagine DA sees himself as a hopeful NBA player and he knows he can't get there palying 15-20 minutes per game.
