January 14, 200719 yr Brewer, Horford and Noah will be playing for pay in 07... Maybe so, but Donovan is getting whoever he wants... As a recruit, Patterson has to question the amount of PT he'd get. Again, I don't really care if Patterson comes or not, it doesn't make me any less of a fan.
January 14, 200719 yr Maybe so, but Donovan is getting whoever he wants... As a recruit, Patterson has to question the amount of PT he'd get. With those three gone, there will be plenty of chances to earn time. And let's not forget the impact of knowing he's sending big men to the NBA. Like you said, Billy D is getting whoever he wants, and he wants Patterson. With that said my guess is he ends up at Duke...

I think a lot of people are seeing something in him that he's not.

January 14, 200719 yr Either way, I don't see him as the answer for UK. I think a lot of people are seeing something in him that he's not. I don't know that he's the savior of UK basketball either, but having him will be much better than not, IMO. UK is beginning to get desperately out manned in the front court. The thing is that this is really a test for Tubby. He's made Patterson a top priority, and it raises some serious questions if he can't land him. Tubby has had some very solid recruiting success with both the big names (junior class) and finding underrated players (freshman class), but he seems to be failing to fill a very real need for a quality big man. I think Stewart will be a solid guy, and maybe Tubby knows more about Mike Williams than everyone else. I hope so.
January 14, 200719 yr UK is currently recruiting Patterson, Moses, Lucas, and Pettigrew pretty hard. I don't know which two it will end up being, but I see UK reeling in 2 of those 4. Personally, I hope it's Moses and Pettigrew as I think those two would be the most beneficial to the program.

January 14, 200719 yr You're the one who said he'd be more comfortable in 65 degree weather instead of 25... Doesn't matter how cold it is on the way, it's warm when you get there. Not true, I said at that age I would, not he would. Dont change my words to help your post please.
January 15, 200719 yr I was at the game and I saw him do the Gator chomp with his hands. I hope he comes to UK but its not likely. I heard that. I personally like the sound of that.
January 15, 200719 yr Brewer, Horford and Noah will be playing for pay in 07... Agreed. If not at least two of them.
January 15, 200719 yr But he'll see a rowdier crowd at Cameron and the O Dome. His recruitment isn't leaning towards UK at this point. Like it or not... Not 90% of the time. He saw around 4000 more fans in Rupp than he will see in Cameron and the O Dome combined. Rowdy students at Duke don't compensate for a crowd of 9300 vs. 24000...which was rockin' last night btw... Rupp Arena in a big-game atmosphere is second to none.

Again, I don't really care if Patterson comes or not, it doesn't make me any less of a fan. As a florida fan i feel he would make a great recruit and as a relling program like UK you better care if he is coming or not, he will make a great impact where ever he lands.
January 15, 200719 yr The thing that KILLS me about this recruiting class, is that a year ago this time I heard about Mashall Moses. I told people about him (not on this board, just in person) and all I heard was how UK was in on a lot better big men. What happened to that? Where'd they go. Don't get me wrong I wanted Marshall Moses as soon as I saw him. We still have neither Patrick Patterson or Marshall Moses. Something is wrong. BTW, don't question my support on Tubby, he's our coach and I will never question him.

Rowdy students at Duke don't compensate for a crowd of 9300 vs. 24000...which was rockin' last night btw... Rupp Arena in a big-game atmosphere is second to none. I have to disagree with that. I think that is one of the reasons why alot of recruits decide to go to other places over UK. Because most of these other schools like Duke and UNC seem like alot more fun places to play in. Those places are usually loud and into it every game. While at Rupp the place is usually dead for the most part, and might get loud for a minute in the game then dead silent for ten minutes. The only time Rupp is loud and crazy like those places is when we play UL, Florida, or some team ranked in the top 10... Thats another reason why teams seem not to be that afraid to play at Rupp because they play at places alot more crazier and roudier than Rupp. So Rupp is not intimidating to these young players anymore. Until UK decides to put more students down by the court like other schools, Rupp will be a dead place and not help UK when it comes to home court advantage, and would also possibly lose us some recruits...
