The short-lived Florida career of forward Eloy Vargas is over.

Vargas will be granted his release from his UF scholarship and is visiting Kentucky this weekend, according to a source close to the program. Vargas also posted on his Twitter page that he “will be takin a visit to Kentucky Wildcats this weekend.”

Florida coach Billy Donovan acknowledged before his Ocala tip-off club banquet Wednesday that Vargas was dealing with some academic difficulties. Vargas was reportedly in jeopardy of being declared ineligible for the fall semester.

“I’m not at liberty to say much at all about him right now,” Donovan said Wednesday. “But I think there might be a time where I can come out and say something.”

I guess at UK he can get someone else to take his classes for him. You know, like Derrick Rose and his SATs. What's the over/under on how long it takes the NCAA to drop the hammer on UK?

He's not on the KY roster according to their site and when I search google for where he went, all I find is links to Title Town.
