January 31, 200719 yr I don't know the entire full store but Patterson was "overwhelmed" by cameron staduim and the Duke Bluedevils. Looks like out margin for error on this kid just got smaller. Here is the headline from rivals.:madman: Patterson 'overwhelmed' by Cameron How many people would have loved to have been in Patrick Patterson's shoes over the last three days? First, the five star power forward got a prime seat for Duke's win over Boston College Sunday night. Then two nights later, he had a double-double in a big win over Artesia. It was a three day period that "changed his perspective" on Duke.
January 31, 200719 yr I watched that game and was wondering how he would react to it. I don't see how that game "Overwhelmed" him. They didn't play all that great and BC and is on its way down. I guess a lot of it had to do with the crowd. Something UK lacks which has been discussed.
January 31, 200719 yr ^ Duke actually played very well, and the crowd was supremely in it...but with a lot of the high school kids today....Duke -vs- UK in a recruiting battle...Duke would win....with the environment in Cameron, and the exposure Duke gets...plus all of the success they have had in these kids' lives....really a no brainer.
January 31, 200719 yr I don't see how that game "Overwhelmed" him. They didn't play all that great and BC and is on its way down. Sour grapes already?? :lol:
January 31, 200719 yr Sour grapes already?? :lol: No just reality. Duke didn't play that good. The fans obviously had an impact on him. How is that sour grapes.
January 31, 200719 yr Yea, Mr. Patterson go to a school that'll stand behind you when you or your team mates get into a scrap!!! Wait a minute they didn't do that with their lacrosse team, and even let the coach go! If you want to be inshrined UK is the place not Duke!
January 31, 200719 yr No just reality. Duke didn't play that good. The fans obviously had an impact on him. How is that sour grapes. RP says they played well, you said they played bad...Which is it??

I see that. That is what I was saying. They beat a BC team by 10(I forget) or so who didn't have there Starting C. I don't see that as playing well. The played ok.
January 31, 200719 yr RP says they played well, you said they played bad...Which is it?? I said they didn't play that good.
January 31, 200719 yr ^ Duke really did play quite well, if you watched the whole game..probably one of the 5 best games they've played.
January 31, 200719 yr I said they didn't play that good. Semantics...:lol:...Your opinion is the opposite of RP's, so which is it...They can't play "not that good" and "very well" at the same time...

Who wouldn't go to Duke with the success of names like Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, William Avery, Trajan Langdon, Chris Duhon, Dahntay Jones, Roshawn McCloud, Shav Randolph and Jay Williams?

Wait a minute they didn't do that with their lacrosse team, and even let the coach go! If you want to be inshrined UK is the place not Duke! Duke's bylaws are what they are, the coach was on warning already when this went down. The party was not to even have taken place...it sucks for him to have to have been fired, but the team is behaving much better now...one of the kids has already graduated from Duke, the other two have been offered to come back....that's really all they can do..
January 31, 200719 yr ^ Duke really did play quite well, if you watched the whole game..probably one of the 5 best games they've played. I watched most of it. I think they played OK. They won by 14 actually which is about what they should have done.
January 31, 200719 yr Semantics...:lol:...Your opinion is the opposite of RP's, so which is it...They can't play "not that good" and "very well" at the same time... Duke fan and UK fan.:lol: :lol: We need another opinion.
