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.
Hope the university tells him the natty ring is in the mail, don’t hold your breath for it to arrive.
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.
And one can't say he did it to be closer to home either..he is from Orlando ..must have given him lot of $$$$
Agree. Projected starting lineup Jaland Lowe (16.8 PPG at Pitt) Jasper Johnson (No. 17 in ESPN 100) Otega Oweh (16.2 PPG) Mouhamed Dioubate (7.2 PPG at Alabama) Jayden Quaintance (9.4 PPG at Arizona State)
Kentucky rotates back to a home game this year in Gainesville? Sigh, it just didn't have to be like this DA
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.
Yeah, my initial reaction was unprintable here....but now even though I appreciate his contributions to UF, he's dead to me. And I bleeping HATE UK
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.
I'm confused, you both were both supportive of him on his departure thread and now this??? Your'e not wishing him the best anymore?
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.
