I have never thought that basketball at UK shouldn't be an advantage in football recruiting, but some horrible splitting up of the resources in the past has. Not only should it be an advantage in players wanting to come here it should have been an advantage in having more money to spend on football, it makes a ton more than any other SEC program.
Now when we start to hear talk of basketball players wanting to visit so they can see some great football being played we will know we are getting somewhere.
