Bad news for UK fans on Patrick Patterson!

[RockPride]

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?

Or Corey Maggette, or Elton Brand, or Grant Hill, or Shane Battier, or Mike Dunleavy, or Carlos Boozer

 

That's kind of low about Jason Williams, he made a stupid choice, but would've been a tremendous pro, and everyone knew that.

Duke fan and UK fan.:lol: :lol: We need another opinion.

 

Well, we'll add a UL fan's opinion... I don't like Duke so you can't say Im biased, but I didn't see anything that indicated to me that Duke wasn't playing well. Just because folks think a team should win by more than they do, doesn't mean they played bad. JMO.

Average pro.

I believe what Hammertime is trying to say is that, IHO, Duke didn't play a good ballgame. RP is stating that they did, but, IHO, they always do. Can't argue with that.

I agree with that but the game didn't impress me at all.

^ 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

Who is the last recruit UK beat out Duke for???

[RockPride]

^ No they do not....have you all read any of my Duke posts this yera.

Thats why you should use quotes.

Yeah. People are too quick today......CR, sorry. And I don't know who the last guy is...

Exactly. UK hasn't beaten Duke out for a recruit in quite sometime.

:laugh:

 

You left out top 5 prospect, Chris Burgess, who didnt pan out even in college. They do have a lot of NBA flops though.

He had a good time. After visitng a school the recruit almost always says these kind of things. If he goes to Duke, he goes to Duke, but saying this is bad news for UK fans is just another attempt at one of the 18% trying to stir the pot....

Average pro.

Maybe, but as a rookie in only 26.1 MPG, he averaged 9.5 ppg, 4.7 apg, and 2.6 rpg....that's pretty good considering that was barely a half of play.

I think he would have been solid but not tremendous. Too bad he he got hurt like he did. He was one Duke player I always liked.
