April 25, 200719 yr Not sure if anyone has come across this one yet. http://media.herald-dispatch.com/blog/hssports/ "Patrick Patterson said he wants to be the last of the six seniors to announce his decision. He said he really likes new Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie and wants to get to know the new UK coaching staff better before making his decision. Florida coach Billy Donovan has in-home visit scheduled for April 25, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski will visit on April 30, and Virginia coach Dave Leito still wants to make a visit." Whats the deal with wanting to be the last senior to announce ? I can understand weighing your options and taking your time on such a big decision but to flat out come out and say that you want to be the last senior to announce sounds very selfish to me. Like it or not guys it's going to be a while before anyone knows where this kid is going to end up.
April 25, 200719 yr I hope he goes elsewhere....It sounds like Mayo may have rubbed off on him a bit. I don't want his circus coming to Lexington.
April 25, 200719 yr If he does wait that long, he's going to wait himself out of a ride at UK. This is what I'm waiting for... I look for it sooner than later.
April 25, 200719 yr You guys are amazing. I still don't understand what all the fuss is about. It's not like he's let the deadline pass and rules are being bent for him. He's got 4 or 5 phenomenal basketball programs after him and can only pick one. God forbid Little UKM or Little Wireman ever be in this situation. You guys wouldn't be very supportive role models it doesn't seem like. He's a high-schooler, let him do what he wants.

Oh yeah, and: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:

The fact that he says he wants to be the last player to decide says he wants all the attention. It's not as if he is saying he's having a hard time picking a school. If that were the case I'd have no problem with it, but it's been widely said that he already knows where he's going and is just waiting. I hope he does well wherever he goes, I just hope it's not UK.
April 25, 200719 yr The fact of the matter is - he and his family are living it up in the spotlight but I would probably place a bet on the fact that he has known for sometime where he is going.
April 25, 200719 yr My nickname is actually just Wireman, not Little Wireman. Oh yeah, and: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: I was referring to you ever facing the situation of being a parent and having a "little" Wireman (with the talent and hype of PP) as I don't know your name or what you would name your son. And you can :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: as much as you'd like but face it, you'd be :banana: :banana: :banana: if and when Patterson decided to come to your school.

What makes me :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: are high school players that think they're bigger than the game of basketball. I would be happy to have PP the player on my team, but I could care less about PP the spotlight seeker.

Not "I want to continue to weigh my options" or "I'm just not certain yet." No, this statement says that even if he's made up his mind, he won't announce because he desires to be the last one. Naturally, I'll be thrilled if he does eventually come to UK, but jeez, one way or the other just announce already!

It bothers me that he has the guts to come out and say "I want to be the last senior to decide." God forbid Little Patterson make a decision before any of the other seniors.
