Patrick Patterson notes

It’s a job well done by coach Gillispie. He comes in and is able to land one of the most sought after recruits. I believe this is only the beginning of great things to come in the future for the program.

It’s a terrific pickup and he will fill a void left inside with the loss of Morris.

Notes from the presser…

Happy UK fans cheering

Patterson said one of the main deciding factors was the distance. He wanted to be closer to his family and friends so they could see him play etc.

It was basically between Kentucky and Florida, he wasn’t feelin’ much from the Duke basketball program.

He thinks coach Gillispie is a great coach and mentioned what he done at A&M. Said, coach Gillispie told him he would be an impact player his freshman year.
