one of 2 guys who will be back next year on that list
March 29th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
nevermind, i see 3 maybe 4

Interesting there is no true center on either team. Guess a quality big man is impossible to get.
March 29th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Good job PPat…..where’s Chrissy boy Lofton??? This is the only time I will say this…GO UNC!!!
March 29th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Love is not a true center? I mean, he can extend his game to the perimeter a little, but his bread and butter is done low.

4 - Hopefully you aren’t asking where Chris Lofton is on those all-freshman teams…it would be unusual for a senior to make an all-freshman team.

I could see P.P. on the first team switching with Bayless!

Assuming Bayless is playing collegiate ball next year– just read an article on Lute Olsen. It mentioned that he visited with Bayless’ family & they were speaking with Stu Jackson to assess his NBA draft potential.

how could u see pat over bayless? Pat is good but he is easily the 7th best on the list no higher. Gordon could be on instead of Mayo, maybe, and thats the only feasible change

I think they got it right like 9 said. I also think Gordon would be in the 1st team over Mayo. Congratulations Patterson. UK is blessed that Gillispie closed the deal on getting him.

Damn close to a miracle that UK ended up with Patterson. Gillispie needs to be commended for the short amount of time that he had to prove to the Patterson’s that UK was the best choice. Especially with the emphasis these days on building relationships with recruits & their parents– Gillispie didn’t have long to do that. I’m not sure UK fans realize how lucky we were to have gotten him. Yes, we all know that we are very lucky to have him on the team, but I’m speaking in regards to the luck of actually landing him after Gillispie only had weeks to seal the deal. The basketball gods were smiling down on us that day!
