February 1, 200719 yr In the college game, he's a solid 4. And that makes a world of difference for UK next year, without him Stevenson is a starter at PF (without a backup) before he's ready for that role. You forget about AJ Stewart. He is a 4, and will play both the 3 and 4 at UK.
February 1, 200719 yr What does everyone feel, the primary concern is with this UK team.....if you could sign one style of player, that could immediately help UK as a Freshman, where would he play....I'll go. #2 Guard, 6'-4" or 6'-6" and can consistently shoot from the outside; plays face-guarding style "D" and runs the floor.
February 1, 200719 yr I think you have to assume that Morris will be back, especially with the way he is playing right now. Tubby told Moses that he only had 2 scholarships available, even though he's been saying 3 all along. That makes me believe Tubby and Morris have some sort of agreement already about next season. Well, Lawsy, a handshake deal? That's all the assurance I need!:lol: Morris has it in him to pick it up and play himself into the league down the stretch. It won't take THAT much, just solid play. And he never has to 'declare' or go through anything like that. It's a phone call, a quick shootaround in a gym, and sign the contract. And there's a long time for that to happen in between now and next November.
February 1, 200719 yr In the college game, he's a solid 4. And that makes a world of difference for UK next year, without him Stevenson is a starter at PF (without a backup) before he's ready for that role....but is he an impact player, as a Freshman playing the #4, at UK....I say NO, because the SEC is loaded, with post players and forwards....that's been my contention.
February 1, 200719 yr You forget about AJ Stewart. He is a 4, and will play both the 3 and 4 at UK.His areas for improvement per scout are finishing and size for position. I could maybe be wrong about how much support Stevenson would have on the bench at the 4 next season, but not too wrong.
February 1, 200719 yr ...but is he an impact player, as a Freshman playing the #4, at UK....I say NO, because the SEC is loaded, with post players and forwards....that's been my contention.I think he's an impact player for the way he changes the equation for the other 4 positions, if nothing else.
February 1, 200719 yr I think he's an impact player for the way he changes the equation for the other 4 positions, if nothing else.The problem to me, would be the consistency issue from the perimeter....If UK is hitting, than the post and wings, would be open. If they are not, Patterson and crew would be fronted, doubled and negated, like at times this year....part of the reason, a consistent outside presence is needed.
February 1, 200719 yr Guys..Guys.. lets just hope we get to see if he is an impact player next year at UK.
February 1, 200719 yr Guys..Guys.. lets just hope we get to see if he is an impact player next year at UK. I hope he wears UK blue next year, but if not I won't lose any sleep over it...
February 1, 200719 yr Last time I checked the rankings he was ranked 14.....When did he jump over 12 guys??? They're talking he is the number two PF.:thumb:
February 1, 200719 yr Guys..Guys.. lets just hope we get to see if he is an impact player next year at UK.I agree....:thumb: For the record, I hope Patterson attends UK....I hope an excellent outside, shooting #2 guard is signed and then, then Patterson has a change to be an impact.... Besides SA, debate is healthy, purifies the mind and especially when some of you start to agree with me....:lol:

Wow I have to totally disagree with you on this. We are already loaded with talented guards. We got two true #2 guards in Crawford and Meeks, but they usually have to play the #3 because we dont have that many inside guys. If we had another real big impact guy down low it would help out the ton of guards we already have becasue it might force teams to double inside and that would leave are guards more open. So if I could sign one guy right now it definitely would be a top PF like P.P. or another top center because if Morris leaves we have someone to replace him or if Morris stay Morris could play the 4 and that guy could play the 5...Interior guys is definitely the primary concern for this team and has been since Hayes has left...
February 1, 200719 yr I agree....:thumb: For the record, I hope Patterson attends UK....I hope an excellent outside, shooting #2 guard is signed and then, then Patterson has a change to be an impact.... Besides SA, debate is healthy, purifies the mind and especially when some of you start to agree with me....:lol: I agree I really hope he attends UK. We will find out soon! And I always welcome your solid debate!
February 1, 200719 yr because if we dont get him, then we are going to have to make sure we get Pettigrew adn just hope that him and Stewart, etc. end up being better than advertised... Not a good plan if you ask me. Thus, why Tubby lacks in the recruiting department.
February 1, 200719 yr Look at UK's returning post players, working on the assumption that Morris jumps. With Patterson, the whole team is better, as Stevenson slides to the 3 to back up Crawford, and UK has a glass guy inside. Jasper, Bradley and Crawford at guards. The other two current frosh are more than adequate backcourt subs. It's a good deal, in my opinion. The only concern is depth in the post. Not as sweet if Patterson isn't in the picture. Stevenson to the 3? Nope. He either becomes the back up center or is the back up PF. Stewart goes to the 3 in this scenario.
