KY coach wants to own Cincy

"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.
