Take a moment this afternoon and send some get well wishes to former UK Basketball walk-on EJ Floreal, who underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL today. In August, the senior gave up basketball to focus on his track and field career under his father, Coach Edrick Floreal, and despite the injury, he plans to redshirt and run next year.
Surgery tomorrow pray for the kid

As Floreal’s shown us time and time again, he’s an incredible athlete, and I have no doubt he’ll make a full recovery.
