GatorCountry brings you a new podcast as we recap the Florida Gators recruiting weekend, plus preview the Gators that will be playing in the Senior Bowl this weekend in Mobile, Alabama.

Andrew Spivey and Nick de la Torre break down how each official visit went and who the Gators have a good shot with after the weekend.

Andrew and Nick also break down what happened to the Florida Gators basketball team last week, plus look ahead to this week's games.

TRANSCRIPT:

Andrew:                 What’s up, Gator Country? Your man, Andrew Spivey, here with Nicholas de la Torre. Nicholas, little bit slower week for football, but recruiting still going. Got the Gators out at the Senior Bowl. Basketball, it’s on a downslide after we gave them props last week.

Nick:                         Certainly a rough week for basketball, going 0-2, and dropping one at home. You see a little slide. They remain in the top 25, but you get the expected slide after going 0-2.

Andrew:                 I said this yesterday, Monday, to someone. I was doing a radio, and I said, “It’s kind of common though that there’s always a little bit of a midseason drought, per say.” I don’t think it was a situation where they played terribly. South Carolina’s a really good defensive team, so I’m not too worried about that. Then I think they just let that carry over in the Vanderbilt game. Kind of as we said last week, this is a team that kind of has to click on all cylinders to win, and right now they’re not, but I’m not worried about it yet.

Nick:                         No. We kind of talked about it before. You need to win your home games, so that’s a little troubling when you look at Vanderbilt, and you got to start, if you want to separate yourself, you have to start to win those road games. That South Carolina, you look at it, it’s a great defensive team, but those are some of the games you have to win if you want to get back to being thought of in the same breath as a Kentucky when it comes to the SEC.

Andrew:                 Probably the bad thing for Florida was that they from #3 in the RPI to #10 in the RPI, so that was kind of a letdown for them. Once again, they got time. They got two matchups against Kentucky, and who knows what happens? Florida has to continue to shoot the ball well. It’s kind of when is this whole team going to play well together? You see one game where Kevaughn Allen’s playing really well. Then he has a couple games where he doesn’t play well.

Nick:                         He was on fire last Saturday.

Andrew:                 Yeah, but then the South Carolina game couldn’t hit nothing. Then you had Canyon Barry. He’s been playing well all year, but Kasey Hill’s had up and down days. Devin Robinson, Keith Stone. It’s just they haven’t had a team effort where they played really well together. Kind of looking to see when that happens how good this team can be going forward. A couple quick matchups for them.

Nick:                         Tough week. That’s what I was going to say. Tough week this week.

Andrew:                 Yeah. At LSU, and then at Oklahoma. I think this weekend’s big for the SEC out there at that SEC/Big 12 Challenge. The SEC gets still not respected, and I can understand that. Need to have a good showing, and Florida needs to find a way to beat Oklahoma. That’s a good road win.

Nick:                         Even though Oklahoma’s coming in, lot of losses this year. They’ve lost to Northern Iowa, Wisconsin, Wichita State, Memphis, Auburn. That was a four point loss to Auburn in the Basketball Hall of Fame birthday tournament. Had a long stretch of loss to Baylor, TCU, Kansas State, Kansas, and they’ve lost their last two to Iowa State and Texas. They’ll get of
