February 23, 200719 yr If it's not posted here, I generally am skeptic, BGP is far and away the most accurate, and reponsive to these sort of things.
February 23, 200719 yr Have Patterson and/or Lucas been here since the Craft Center has been finished? Patterson got to see it before his game and was reportedly blown away. Most UK insiders believe he is a done deal.

February 23, 200719 yr Author If they are waiting, couldn't that put the job in jeopardy? Why do they want to play for a coach that doesn't run or put people in the pros? :rolleyes:
February 23, 200719 yr :rolleyes: If they are waiting, couldn't that put the job in jeopardy? Why do they want to play for a coach that doesn't run or put people in the pros? What are you rolling your eyes at? Wouldn't the NBA be a concern of yours if you were Patterson. That post isn't negative TBing it's valid, and raises valid questions with recruiting.
February 23, 200719 yr If they are waiting, couldn't that put the job in jeopardy? Why do they want to play for a coach that doesn't run or put people in the pros? A coach that doesn't put people in the Pros???? Look at Fitch, Bogans, Buike, Prince, Hayes, Magloire, Rondo, and I know there will be at least 2 from this team that will make it in the NBA at some point. I think I am missing a few, but Tubby DOES put people in the NBA...

Maybe some players want to play for a coach who they are comfortable with, and who they can trust. Also some players don't like the run and gun style. Patterson is being misused in that system right now because of Mayo, etc. Tubby has had a decent number of players make it to the NBA by the way..... (Prince, Bogans, Fitch, Daniels, Hayes, Buike, Rondo, Padgett(2 years))
February 23, 200719 yr That was what Hanson thought with Brandan Wright also. Tubby was at Pattersons game in Huntington last night and supposedly it was all good!
February 23, 200719 yr Tubby was at Pattersons game in Huntington last night and supposedly it was all good! Billy D was at the game as well. I hope Tubby breaks the trend and can land PP.

February 23, 200719 yr If I'm Patterson why would I want to play for a coach that runs the ball?? That makes it a guards game. If I'm 6'8 & 230 lbs I want them to set it up and feed the post?
February 23, 200719 yr You make a good point Dachamp, guards may want to go up tempo but those big men like the halfcourt game.
February 23, 200719 yr I don't pay attention to recruits normally, but Patterson would be a much needed injection of passion. I've only seen him play once, and that was last night, but the kid is a hustler, a good passer, and a good defender. He reminds me a little of Jason Maxiell. He can get up. He's a must have.
February 23, 200719 yr OJ Mayo, imo, takes away from Patterson...OJ plays that Kobe Bryant "shoot 1st and look to shoot 2nd" style, so, it's kind of hard to guage how good he really is...He sure can run the court, block shots and rebound though...Hope the Cats can land him.....They could use Lucas, too. I think he would step in immediately and run the point and if he does decide to come, look for that uptempo style everyone seems to be clamoring for...He's a Rondo with an outside shot...
