April 23, 200719 yr Not likely according to Jerry Tipton. Permission to fire at will IS GILLISPIE'S SHOT-PER-GAME PROMISE TO PATTERSON FAR-FETCHED? New Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie said a mouthful when he supposedly told heralded prospect Patrick Patterson that he would take from 16 to 20 shots a game next season if he played for the Wildcats. A check of the record books shows one Kentucky player has averaged as many as 16 shots a game in the last 25 years. You might win a bar bet by knowing that the player was ... Derrick Miller, who averaged 17.9 shots in the 1989-90 season. Surprisingly, Rex Chapman never averaged as many as 16 shots in a season. Stunningly, Jamal Mashburn never averaged as many as 16 shots in a season. Goodness gracious, one-man team Kenny Walker didn't either. (See list.) Is a freshman post player going to get 16-20 shots a game playing on a team with Ramel Bradley and Joe Crawford? Signs point to 'No.'
April 23, 200719 yr Saw the same thing and wondered the same thing. If Kenny Walker didn't, I can't see a freshmen post player doing it.
April 23, 200719 yr I don't know if UK got him that they would want him to take that many shots a game...
April 23, 200719 yr Not likely according to Jerry Tipton. Is a freshman post player going to get 16-20 shots a game playing on a team with Ramel Bradley and Joe Crawford? Signs point to 'No.' I am guessing if Gilispie told him this that he did not do much research about how rare it was. I think this is being blown out of proportion.
April 23, 200719 yr No matter where he ends up, he will get more touches per game then he did while playing with OJ Mayo....

We just don't know what was said, or how it was said, so its impossible for us to be pass judgement on the situation.

April 23, 200719 yr It's flat out telling a kid what he wants to hear...Show me a kid not recruited that is not told what he wants to hear, and I will show you... umm, I don't know, Tubby Smith

I think it would have come out if it were a material misrepresentation.
