Will UT be facing Jai Lucas & Patrick Patterson?

[ckile]

Anyone hear where these guys are going. I'm already sick of hearing about them. Hope we don't have to hear about them in the SEC next year. If they go to Florida or Kentucky, that will give CBS more endless chatter and promo about rival schools to talk about when UT finally gets time on the air.

 

[McCat]

We'll find out about Lucas at 3:30 EST today. Article in the LHL paper today states that Jai has narrowed it to UK or UF.

 

[ckile]

UK or UF. Really not a surprise. I could easily see both of them ending up at either school. MAN, is the SEC East tough or what? As a UK fan, how do you view the East next few years?

 

[Shadowboxer]

I think we're gonna see both of them in Gator uniforms next year.

 

[johnnybravo]

Instant playing time at FL next year.

 

[Shadowboxer]

Lucas commited to Florida. When is Patterson to announce?

 

[utvol0427]

Lucas commited to Florida. When is Patterson to announce?

Apparently the appeal of losing to Pearl and the boys was too much for him to pass up.

 

[hvwarrior58]

Also, Beas Hamga to UNLV. Another Kentucky swing and miss.

 

[McCat]

Lucas commited to Florida. When is Patterson to announce?

Wednesday.

I don't blame Billy Clyde- he was at a pretty big disadvantage coming in late.

 

[champyvol]

patterson is suppose to commit on Wednesday.

 

[hvwarrior58]

Yet another swing and miss, Michael Sanchez committed to Arkansas. Not as highly ranked as the others, but UK was pressing him as well because of a lack of post players.

 

[k-sny-vol]

haha.. sux for UK... glad to see them deteriorating..

 

[rexvol]

Hey, Kentucky! Sucks to be you!

 

[hvwarrior58]

I've heard UF fans saying Patterson will be announcing for Duke tomorrow. I suppose we will see. All signs point away from UK though.

 

[jknox33]

Agreed. I think UK is playing third fiddle to UF and Duke. I for one hope Patterson signs with Duke. It would just be one less player to play against in the East.

Lucas: "I'm not going to KY. One reason is b/c losing Coach Smith hurt me a lot, but I got to know Coach Gillispie. I got to know him really well." abc13.com: Houston Sports: Astros, Texans, Rockets, Comets, and more! :birgits_giggle:

 

[hvwarrior58]

The weird thing is that Coach Donovan is being rumored to have an interview with the Orlando Magic on Friday and they are apparently willing to offer him the total control that the Grizzlies weren't willing to give up.

why would anyone want to go to duke?

 

[McCat]

why would anyone want to go to duke?

I've often wondered that myself.

If Billy Clyde pulls off PP, it would be a remarkable feat, having just entered the recruiting war in April.

:rock:

All good for me.

I hate the gators and I love the Magic.

Brian Hill isn't working for the Magic. They need a change.

 

[hatvol96]

Yeah, they've deteriorated so badly they just signed Patrick Patterson.

 

[hatvol96]

Yet another swing and miss, Michael Sanchez committed to Arkansas. Not as highly ranked as the others, but UK was pressing him as well because of a lack of post players.

I bet Billy Clyde is really broken up about getting Patterson and not Sanchez.

 

[Heebs]

why would anyone want to go to duke?

You obviously know nothing about Duke.

 

[Heebs]

I bet Billy Clyde is really broken up about getting Patterson and not Sanchez.

Either way, it doesn't vault them into serious contention.

That is just crazy talk.
