May 17, 200719 yr Great new article about Patterson, Kentucky, and the recruiting of college basketball players... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/luke_winn/05/17/patterson.kentucky/index.html
May 17, 200719 yr (Recall that the guy for whom we performed a similar overreaction routine in the spring of 2006, Darrell Arthur, turned out to be a solid sixth man for Kansas as a freshman, not a star. Also, Arthur was a better prospect than Patterson coming out of high school, and remains a better NBA prospect.)Something to keep in mind.
May 17, 200719 yr Something to keep in mind. I don't get it.... If Patterson is as good as Arthur I'll be happy.
May 17, 200719 yr ^ He's not. Also, Arthur was a better prospect than Patterson coming out of high school, and remains a better NBA prospect.
May 17, 200719 yr ^ He's not. Big deal, that one man's opinion. If we went by everything that SI said, Felipe Lopez would be dominating the NBA still.
May 18, 200719 yr Big deal, that one man's opinion. If we went by everything that SI said, Felipe Lopez would be dominating the NBA still. Very true.
May 18, 200719 yr I was in Huntington last week and you'll never believe what I saw. Patterson was walking across the Ohio river.
May 18, 200719 yr Big deal, that one man's opinion. If we went by everything that SI said, Felipe Lopez would be dominating the NBA still. Well said:ylsuper:
May 18, 200719 yr Big deal, that one man's opinion. If we went by everything that SI said, Felipe Lopez would be dominating the NBA still. Same could be said for Talifer.
May 18, 200719 yr ^ He's not. Authur was actually ranked as the #3 PF in his class behind Brandon Wright and Felipe Lopez of Stanford...Patterson is #2 in this years class, so, it's debatable who's actually the better prospect..Add in the fact that KU was a #1 seed last year and quite possibly the most talented team overall, player for player, in the country, so, I really don't see any comparison or reason to think Author underachieved...In addition PP will be the best post player on UK and will have alot more opportunity to shine...They sure don't have the supporting cast around Author like KU did...
