Great news!

I got goose bumps when you told Tru to check his email……
See kykat51, that old tent was nice to have today….lol

And flood warnings out for my area in Southcentral Ky. I keep checking the basement. The ground is so saturated there is no where for the rain to go :-( and more heavy rains on the way tonight. The tiling can only take so much even with a natural drain.

here it is, Katz on Patterson.

It will be totally awesome to have Patrick back for the 2009-10 season (YAY!) — not only for what he gives us as far as his athletic ability on the court, but maybe he will emerge as that "team leader" that seemed to elude the team last year?

Considering that we have a totally new coaching staff in place, and I’m sure they will be absolutely fantastic, but it would be really great to have a member of the team such as Patrick, who is an all-around fabulous person and the kind of guy you can’t help but like and respect, and who also has experience being a Wildcat, step up and be that team leader.

This is splendid news, and what a way to start one’s weekend, huh? Cheers! : )

do they expect us to be able to read when they put up a picture of Ashley Judd in a Kentucky uniform?

that Wall is just enjoying the ride. IMO He will go the distance as far as the time He takes signing. I think He is a"little" self centered. He will end up playing where Momma says just like the Henry"s

so proud to be a fan. He seems like he is just a really, really nice guy. He has earned a place among my fav’s of all time. Class act, but I felt that way before he decided to return. He simply and whole-heartedly gets it and it shows.

found this.

this has been widely disseminated today, but a further reading doesn’t really merit all the attention. He is using one source, who is not involved in the recruiting process, who just gives his opinion. That fellow says he thinks Duke has an advantage because it’s closer to Raleigh and because Gerald Henderson is leaving.

1) This guy, admittedly, doesn’t know what he’s talking about. (i.e. he’s not a central player in the recruitment)
2) Literally everyone else who is tuned in thinks UK has a big advantage, some saying 85 percent and some even saying 100 percent.
3) This opinion was cast BEFORE Patterson announced his return.
4) Gerald Henderson leaving, if anything, should HURT Duke’s chances. He’s a 2-guard and would not take any minutes from Wall, plus were he there he’d make Wall look much better.

I’m trying not to be a biased/overly optimistic fan here, but Bozich’s post has been way overblown today. It doesn’t say Wall is leaning toward Duke; it says one guy thinks Duke has a better shot than UK (although he also says UK is “absolutely a major player in the wall sweepstakes.”) Losing Wall wouldn’t be the end of the world, but I don’t think this one post is reason to think the Wall tide is turning.

students read the story, found out about “geography”, bought maps then found out Duke was not in New Jersey.

I disagree with his “gloomy to giddy” phrase. I think we passed giddy about two weeks ago. .-)
