KY coach wants to own Cincy

[swg]

"Now we have to make Florida good to us. The other area that we're close enough to ... is Cincinnati. We've got to treat Cincinnati like it's in-state. I'm not sure we've done a good enough job in the city of Cincinnati."

(Note: Phillips recently hired Tee Martin from New Mexico to coach receivers. The former Tennessee quarterback is seen as a rising star in coaching, having made an impact working elite quarterback camps.)

CBS: Did former Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly kind of make that a destination recruiting spot?

Phillips: Yes, he did. But we kind of gave up -- I shouldn't say gave up -- we kind of eased up on Cincinnati. It's an hour from us. It's a big huge alumni area for us. We've got to own Cincinnati."

Kentucky has visions of grandeur.

I see Charlie Strong at Louisville being a bigger pain than Kentucky.

Big time. The only good thing I can see is that Louisville will go after kids in KY, FL, Tenn, TX, and not just Ohio.
