Can Florida win the recruiting battle against Kentucky? The truth is until John Calipari came to the Kentucky Wildcats Billy Donovan and The Gators were winning the battle. In recent years, Kentucky has made inroads and now the battle is getting hotter than ever. What does Florida need to do to win this battle on a yearly basis?

One of the biggest keys to winning the hearts of recruits is consistently beating Kentucky home and away. You want to show future recruits that you can play with anyone in college basketball and that includes the Kentucky Wildcats. By beating them on a consistent basis that will stick in a recruits mind. Another area that will help Florida is by going to the state of Kentucky and drawing some of their top recruits to Florida. Nothing can say you are winning the war than grabbing a few of their top prospects.

Billy Donovan is a great coach and motivator and is one of the main tools Florida basketball has to win this recruiting battle. He knows Kentucky well and how to get some of the top recruits to Florida. It will be tough, but this is a battle that Florida can win by staying consistent and not giving up.
