Orton's father says right now it's the 'Cats

This just affirms what we have been hearing for some time now. I just wish he was going to announce in the fall, instead of waiting until spring.

Sounds great...

He would be a great coup for Billy even if he is just here a year or two.

I Don't Think He'll Wait

My hunch is he’ll announce for UK in mid October.

Hmmm...

I would love to hear him announce mid-October possibly after his official visit to Big Blue Madness.

I saw a full-length pic of him today. He is so “Big”. I cannot fathom having to keep him fed 24/7. Geez!

The Full Article From Tipton

http://ukbasketball.bloginky.com/2008/09/03/kentucky-favored-for-daniel-orton/ The senior Orton called ex-UK coach Tubby Smith for his opinion about UK basketball and Billy Gillispie.

Tubby said 2 Thumbs Up on both.

That ...

… was the kind of class I would expect from Tubby Smith. And Gillispie should be proud to have coach Smith say that about him.

Have to believe that Orton is waiting to see if Patterson leaves after this season. I figure he waits until that’s resolved. As some have said it’s a good problem to have. You have PP back for another year or you have Orton ready to dominate.

Maybe, but. . .

If PP comes back for another season, he could easily move to the 4 from the current 4/5, and Orton could play the 5.

Agreed

They would make for a monster combo

Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

by chirop1 on Sep 4, 2008 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions

True, but...

Orton does not want to play the 5.

I’m nearly certain that barring some unforeseen complication, Patterson is going to be gone after this upcoming season.

National Championship

I dont think will happen as I think PPAT is leaving but I think they would make a National Championship combo.

DEEETROIT BASKETBALLL!!!

AGREE 110%

It could be the fact that I just had a tooth filled but I am drooling. The idea of the two together with some lean 6-6 guys slashing around makes me weak in the knees.

However, that pesky injury sent some shock waves through P-Pat and he will let his stock ride this year but that is it.

Changing how you think will change what you think.
