PrintAccording to multiple sources including Jeff Drummond and Matt Jones, five Kentucky Wildcats will enter the NBA draft this year:
No word if any are planning to sign with agents right away, or hold off. I think Orton has already indicated he would not, but I don't think there has been anything official.
Discuss away!
[UPDATE 6:45PM] The Cats Pause has quotes and more.
[UPDATE 11:30PM] Patrick Patterson says "Not so fast."

I'm sitting here typing this with an evil me on one shoulder and the angel me
on the other shoulder. Am I the only one out there conflicted by this whole thing?
FIVE guys off one team go to the NBA and we don’t make the Final Four. How is that possible? Well that’s a rhetorical question if you’ve read anything I’ve been posting for months….the evil me named them The Heartbreakers months ago.
Yes they were probably the most talented team in UK history but they didn’t always play smartly and in the end it bit us in the tail….simple as that.
The conflict I feel is looking back at that 1998 championship and remembering a group of COLLEGE athletes playing their best as a team. We had 2 players get a sniff of the NBA but we won a championship because these guys got on a roll at just the right time and played their tails off…..no one thinking about anything but the next game and as fans we LOVED it.
Yes Cal has only been here one year and I for one think he’s great but when you recruit kids that look at college as nothing but a stop on the way to The Show….well I didn’t see any of those type kids playing in the championship Monday night.
I wish these kids nothing but success in their futures and thank them for all the thrills they gave us and for a great season!! That said, I can’t shake this conflicted feeling that I have that other than PP, these kids wanted to be somewhere else this year and not wearing a Kentucky jersey.
You can't fix "stupid"!
I couldn't disagree more.
This team was great and I LOVE them (that’s love in the present tense, as in still do and always will). I’m not sure what you think they owe you, but if you think they didn’t try to win, well, and then you weren’t watching the same team as I was. I think they were just as heartbroken for each one of our losses and especially in the loss to WV as we fans were.
The reality of it is that these players don’t belong to us. They came, they played their hearts out, they gave us great memories and represented UK very well, IMO, and now that the season is over they must look ahead and try to do what is best for them and their families. Patrick is the exception, of course, as he has said that getting his degree was one of his dreams, but for the others, the NBA is their dream, they have worked hard all their life trying to get there and now they have a legitimate chance for their dreams to become a reality.
Patrick, DeMarcus and John were all no-brainers to declare, and although Orton and Bledsoe were a bit of a surprise, they improved their games a ton this year’s NBA draft could likely be the last one of its kind so I certainly don’t begrudge Orton and Bledsoe for throwing their name in. Why not?
The NBA is the eventual dream of all of the above players and I wish them all the best of luck and hope their dream becomes a reality. And as far as us (us meaning the UK men’s basketball program in this instance) well, even if all 5 of the above guys do in fact move on, we will be just fine and better for having had them here, IMO.

First, I never said they owed us anything...please point out where I said that.
Second, I said I was conflicted by this entire situation. If you watched the championship game Monday night……..you’ll see exactly why.
Two teams who combined probably don’t have 2 players that will ever go in the NBA first round, let alone consider being one & done’s. We have 5 kids going to the NBA including 4 one & done’s…….who’s COLLEGE program succeeded there?
If our goal is to put up great numbers as we lose scholarship’s because our graduation rate continues to fall……then we’ve truely sold our souls to the God of instant success.
You can't fix "stupid"!
While I think I disagree with you, you present valid points for consideration. The
thing I really want to say is that imo the bunch that played Monday night had to be some kind of a fluke. Honestly, if you played the whole thing over again (the entire tournament), I wonder what the chances would be of either of those two reaching the finals? Of course, I’m biased, but I didn’t see anyone on either team that I would trade for any of our kids even though they each have some nice players. I have mixed emotions about the one and done, but I love this team and think they gave it their all for the year we had them and I surely will miss each one.
;-) You're having the same conflict I'm having!!!
I agree with you that if the tournament was played over that outcome would probably be different but then would many marriages!!
I loved them too but I really do wonder where our program is headed if this is UK’s future.
You can't fix "stupid"!
well,
to me your statement read that you thought this group “owed” you when you talked about them being so talented and then not coming home with a Final Four and also when you said, "these kids wanted to be somewhere else this year and not wearing a Kentucky jersey." It read that you thought they “owed” you a FF or that you were “owed” their respect. No? My apologies, if not. : )
And yes, I watched the championship game Monday night and like bluegrassgal said, I would bet my life on the fact that if you had the whole thing to do over again those two teams would not have been playing in that game. And no, I wasn’t the least bit conflicted when watching that group, nor am I overly concerned about the direction of the UK program, and you want to know why? This year and this talent was absolutely necessary in order to put UK back on the map, to get us back in the lime-light, back in the national conversation and to make us appealing to the top recruits once again.
Going forward, I don’t realistically expect us to bring in the type of talent we had this year, you know, the type that will realistically have the opportunity to leave after one year, and I think it might be a good thing if that doesn’t happen every year, but one championship game in which the teams are made up of non-NBA first rounder’s does not scare me nor does this anomaly (thank-you, Weasel : ) of a class that was the ‘09/’10 class a trend, or annual occurrence make.
I really haven't seen or read anything to cause me to back off that statement.
IF…..they could have gone directly to the NBA, they would have. I’m not saying they owed UK anything but last time I looked, UK was a University which has a basketball program for it’s STUDENT athletes. You know that silly commercial that runs through out the NCAA tournament…..“many of us will go pro in something other than sports”…..well in some utopia that’s really true. These guys didn’t come to UK for UK they came for Coach Cal. They could have cared less if their jersey said Memphis or North Carolina during their “hopefully” brief tenure in the minor league of basketball.
Do the kids still feel the same way? I don’t think so. I think they’ve come to love UK too but while kids will be doing the Wall dance for a while, you won’t see any Wall prints replacing Macy prints in anyone’s home.
That’s the conflict that I feel and having been a UK fan for 43 years, I DO worry about the future. You seem to be saying that we used them like the used us. That they got some nice coaching, some good competition, maybe even matured a little and in return, UK was “put back on the map, back in the limelight, back in the national conversation, appealing to top recruits once again.”
The entire point of attending college for most people is to gain further education and improve one’s opportunities in life. I think a first round NBA contract would certainly qualify under improving one’s opportunities in life so I have no problem with them leaving.
The problem I have is that there is a price to pay. Our graduation rate WILL fall and if low enough, we WILL lose scholarships. We’ve lost an entire recruiting class with the exception of two players who’ve both been mentioned as possible transfers, we could lose the entire class.
Finally, I’m not scared of the lack of one & done’s in the championship game or the anomaly of this recruiting class…..I am “worried” however that UK could become nothing more than a way station on the way to The Show.
You can't fix "stupid"!
IF…..they could have gone directly to the NBA, they would have.
But they couldnt so they came to Kentucky and gave us one hell of a year. It’s not their fault they couldnt go straight to the NBA, but they have said NUMEROUS times how much they LOVED playing at Kentucky and the fans here.
It is not worth an intelligent man’s time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.

I think
those were done for them…….I mean PP didn’t even really declare yet his comments were released? A little fishy to me.
Not just those comments.
These guys have said several times how much they love playing at Kentucky. I just think it is so wrong to make them out to be disloyal or whatever simply because they are going after their dreams.

quotes:
Cousins: “This year was the most fun I’ve ever had playing basketball and a lot of it had to do with the support I got from our fans.”
Wall: " I want to thank my teammates and the fans for all their support this year. I love them."
Does this sound like players who didn’t want to be in a Kentucky jersey? I don’t think so. I’m so pleased that they will apparently remember their UK basketball experience fondly.
We fans are all so passionate about UK basketball, but for these kids basketball is their trade, their life’s work, and college ball is a step along that path. To me, it’s setting yourself up for heartbreak if you expect kids who aren’t from Kentucky, who don’t have UK basketball in their DNA like we do, to chose “loyalty” or whatever to their college program over what they believe is best for themselves, their career and their families.
I wish them all the best. They don’t “owe” us fans anything more than they’ve already given, which was a hell of a fun team for us to root on.

Absolutely!!!
I had a blast this year. If this is a sign of things yet to come then I am SOOOO HAPPY and excited and PROUD to be part of it in any way that I can.

I really was happy to read those quotes
especially Big Cuz’s about “the most fun”.
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
I loved these kids too and it was a pleasure watching them play. I especially loved
watching Cousins as he developed more maturity and learned that you really can play hard and contain your emotions.
As for the quotes….I think they probably meant every word. At the same time I’m not naive enough to KNOW that not a single one of them other than PP would have come to UK if they could have gone straight to the NBA.
You can't fix "stupid"!
I am still trying
to get the two to just get along. But like my two kids, they both think they are always right. ;-)
But, I haven’t gotten to the point where I think they didn’t want to be wearing KENTUCKY across their chest. That seems a little harsh to me. (Evil you must have won that one). ’-)
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
JM
I couldn’t agree more!
Happy Days are here again The sky is all ways BLUE again Happy days are here again !
I think you are being selfish here.
Did you think when they committed to UK they would stay for 4 years? No. Does that mean they didn’t appreciate their schollys? No. Cal encouraged them to put their names in the draft. Is he being disloyal to UK? Of course not! Time to move on an get excited about next years team!
+1
Those kids totally “got” what being at Kentucky was all about. If they are good enough to go to the next level WHICH IS THEIR DREAM why in the world would we question their loyalty for following that dream?? They played their hearts out for us and represented the University of Kentucky well the VERY LEAST we can do is be proud of them, support their dreams, and be thankful for the fun and exciting season they gave us all.

No one's being selfish. College basketball continues to evolve and the
connection to the NBA and what it’s doing to college basketball programs can’t be ignored. That’s the conflict I feel…..recruit the best players and know that at best they might be at your school for 2-3 years?
As I pointed out above, neither of the teams in that championship game Monday night had anything close to the talent we did, yet they represented COLLEGE basketball in every sense.
Don’t think Butler is going to be worried about their graduation rate dropping to the point where they lose scholarships!!!
You can't fix "stupid"!
Well with that kid coach they have.....I wouldn't bet the house on that! ;-)
You can't fix "stupid"!
You're probably right......who knows, he might be coaching Wall in
the NBA in another 5 years.
You can't fix "stupid"!
That's my take on Butler. Neither team in that final had the caliber of players to be in the
final in my opinion. I absolutely believe our kids enjoyed their time at UK, and I have said from the get-go that I thought that Wall and Cousins should go into the draft. Make your living while the sun shines. One blown knee (remember Derek Anderson) and your entire future might be up in the air. Let’s not borrow too much trouble worrying about the one and dones that Cal might draft going forward. The season was such a joy, and compared to an early NIT exit, it’s unbelievable. And, by the time Cal is ready to retire, we can hire that kid coaching Butler!

Well
I am more angry then I thought I would be. Uggh. Oh well for loyalty. Go ahead and slam away at my post!
To who did they owe loyalty?
Scholarships are a one year deal. Remember, that was part of the rationale discussed when BCG’s players left. The one year is over and if they have nothing better going on, they will come back for another year and be loyal to this school during that year.
loyalty
to coach and to the University……..I don’t like the whole one year thing anyway so that is not a good argument for me. YOu sign an athlete for four years. NCAA needs to do something about that. Also players shouldn’t be released to other schools without penalty.
You are making a scholarship
sound like a prision sentence. If their goal and dream is to be an NBA ball player and they are good enough to go after one year, then they should go. You are willing to risk their future and their dreams and everything they have worked so hard for by forcing them to stay and play college ball for four years. Say they do get hurt and never get to play ANYWHERE again – much less the fact that their hopes and dreams of professional ball are over – what do you tell them then?? “Well, sorry, but you owed your coach and university so them’s the breaks.”

good grief
you making me sound like a bad guy. I said I don’t like how the UNIVERSITY is only obliged to one year…….I think they should have four year committment to THEIR athletes not the other way around. No way do I think an athlete should stay four years and honestly I think its a little harsh to make me sound like I am so selfish that I would want someone to be hurt…..I said last night……..PP needs to go. To me the selfish part is when we are totally depleted. I look to Lawson and Hansborogh on this. Two guys who loved their school enough to bring a title to them.
PP needs to go
You keep saying that and it is totally coming across as though you feel he is the only one that should go because he stayed until he graduated. Wall and Cousins should not be “punished” because they are good enough to go on to the next level nor should their pursuing their dream – which is the whole reason people go to college in the first place – be reason to insinuate that they have no love for their school. They stay around another year or more to “bring a title” and then they get hurt, what do you think their school and fans will do for them then? Sorry but I just dont think condolences or public adoration is going to make up for the loss of a dream. I’m sorry but I just feel like your being selfish here.

Don't see it as a loyalty issue. I'm sick about it but it's like watching your kids leave for college.
You cry your eyeballs out, but you know it’s best for them. Wall’s stock couldn’t get any higher and if he’s like the rest of the world, he could probably use the money. Why not go on and get the career started. The loyalty part with this team will come into play if they don’t support the program now – come back and visit, follow the team, stay in touch, and that sort of thing. I still can’t see Bledsoe and Orton doing anything but playing overseas somewhere and that’s a shame. They both could have improved their stock with at least another year, but Wall and Cousins are at the top of their game. There simply is no reason for Patrick to stay. Isn’t he a Communications major? As good looking and articulate as he is, he’ll have a fine pro career, and then go to work for ESPN. Staying another year won’t likely improve that. For me, I’m just trusting that Cal knows how the fans feel and will be on the lookout for guys who will be interested in staying for longer than one year.
by bluegrassgal on Apr 7, 2010 10:10 PM EDT up reply actions
Don't agree with the loyalty thing either.
I am SO sad they’re all leaving, but I had a feeling as the year progressed that Patterson, Cousins, Wall and Bledsoe would all def. be gone. The Orton thing is a little baffling to me, but it doesn’t really matter what we think right?
They did so many wonderful things for the university on AND off the court this year! With all due respect, I don’t feel that the loyalty thing is a fair jab. They represented the university so well this year and they are all just way too talented to stay. That’s just the way college bball is these days. To rehash what I heard someone else say, they were loyal to UK, now it’s time for them to leave the team and make important decisions for themselves and their families.
Here's A Thought
Let’s just say these guys leave and just happened to be replaced with 5 more one and dones. The “new team” will have heard all about how last year’s team was the best in the country, the best in UK history. Then say that team decides, “Hey. We can be better than that team!” and they dig in and practice hard and play hard and set their minds to doing better and going farther than they did. Then say that starts a trend with each year the “new team” determined to be better than the team before them. Then a standard gets set – only the best of the best play at UK. Each and every year brings the best talent just dying to get in there and see how far they can go.
My point is just that just because we may get some guys that leave for the NBA after one year does not mean that there is nothing to build on or that they wont have pride in their team or our program.

Just got back from the Tuesday Masters practice round
(incredibly well-maintained and run; gazillion people, particularly around Tiger (particularly women, for some reason known but to them); very crowded and “big business” feel. I wonder how Bob Jones would have felt.). On the way down and back, I went through the Eagles’ Greatest Hits two-CD pack at least three times. I found some lyrics that apply to us (notice I included myself.):
Another night; it’s gonna be a long one.
When there’s nothin’ to believe in
Still you’re coming back, you’re running back,
You’re coming back for more.
Just remember this, my girl
When you look up in the sky.
You can see the stars
And still not see the light.
Now it seems to be some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can’t get
Lighten up while you still can
Don’t even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy!
At least, with our little ASoB family, even with our disagreements, we won’t have to endure this one:
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.
It must have made a hell of a scene. An old gray guy hauling down I-95 screaming at the top of his lungs while listening to the Eagles. I’m sure the truckers were amused.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
I love it
Now that song is stuck in my head…..At least it is a great song.
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
Lucky you!!!! Tiger is the ONLY thing that's going to pull me
out of the funk I’ve felt for the last 10+ days!!
And an Eagle fan too!! If only they would bring back Don Felder and sound like they used to.
You can't fix "stupid"!
Hell if bledsoe and orton
Are declaring for the draft,I might as well too we have the same chance of getting picked in the first round ZERO!!!!!!Now to 5 players leaving in one year this will not be happening every year this is a fluke (gotta wonder whos talkin to these kids..bledsoe and orton that is)now we cant take Orton back hes going to take cash from somebody so good luck big fella your going to need it……..even though their leaving it was a fantastic season Wall and Boogie should be 1and 2 overall and i hope patterson gets a boatload of cash hes been awesome but bledsoe isnt going in the top 60 neither is Orton but they cant come back or will be forfeiting alot of wins hey it is what it is …..but thanks for a great season WE ARE BACK AND WERE NOT GOING AWAY
For those of you saying that their is no chance either will get drafted in the first round,
what 30 players in college basketball (that are going pro this year) you would take over them. At the point guard position, Bledsoe is probably one of the top 5 point guards in the draft and at the center position, I can’t name 5 that have more potential than Orton. You can’t teach competetiveness, desire, speed and you can’t teach height. Skills can be taught.
Funny part is that they all declared at once.......lol.....this bunch does eveything as a team
good or bad……gotta love that!!!
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
go get em guys.....hope youre the first 5 picked......just another record for the Cats......lol
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
yeah,
and how cool would it be if they were all sitting at a table together (or even in the same room together, for that matter) in New York on June 24 just waiting to shake David Stern’s outstretched hand? It’s a long shot that they will all be lottery invitees, I know, but I think that would be a fabulous site to see and very good for UK. : )
Try to be practical...
I’m guessing if someone tells a coach his player(s) will be picked in the first round, that coach is going to tell them to leave. The short term loses are nothing compared to the damage of not being honest with your players. Imagine if a coach convinces a sure-fire first rounder to come back and then that player blows out a knee. Top recruits wouldn’t go near that school (and of course it’s the wrong thing to do).
A tough blow, but I’m guessing Brandon Knight will be running the point for UK next year. A lot of teams wish they had that problem.

Oh I agree. I think Cal's honesty is one reason he's so successful
in recruiting.

I haven't been this surprised since water came out of the faucet this morning
Seriously though, good for those guys. I hope they have great workouts, get good advice, and listen to it: whether it means they stay or return to school.
Question about Patterson – didn’t he declare for the draft last year? And if so that means it doesn’t matter if he signs with an agent or not – he’s used his freebie and now can’t return to school (to play basketball anyway), right?
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
It does not matter how many times you declare. What matters,
is whether you go to the NBA draft camps. The NCAA allows all players to go to the evaluation camp once. If you go twice, you’re through with college. I don’t think Pat went to the camp last year.
Patterson
I think you are right – if he declares he cant take it back this time. His mother said as much in a phone conversation with Matt Jones posted over on KSR.
Patrick has not made a decision yet. He will do so in the next week or two and he will decide it by the 24th. It his decision and he knows that if he puts in the Draft he cant take it out.

Yep.
He declared last year, so this decision is the last one he’ll have to make about being a Wildcat next year.

IF it holds true
and is confirmed the first big domino has fallen. Sit back for the next week or so and hear who will be coming next year. You know all the noncommitted recruits were sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to see who and how many UK players were leaving. This will give them a good feel for their anticipated minutes/starting positions in a Kentucky uniform.
About the new update.....
PPat has a good head on his shoulders. It is good to hear he is weighing all his options.
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
The reallity
of what his mom said though about Butler being hurt is huge………I don’t expect or want Patrick to return. He earned his degree and did us proud. Time to let him go
Exactly !!
I was merely pointing out his using his head and thinking about things. He has been hurt before and he does has insurance, I think. ’-)
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
DENIED!
Think before you hit post. Preview is your friend. :-)
Just kidding.
It has been under discussion for years, (and I do mean years) around SB Nation, but the consensus is that it would lead to comment abuse. I actually agree with that conclusion, having seen it on other sites.

goodness
me……..Patrick has put three years into Kentucky. He has his degree. He already sacrificed making money once. I love Wall and Cousins and really I don’t have issues too much with them leaving…….as much as I do Bledsoe and Orton. Cousins I fear will get hurt if he doesn’t leave. Really though I am not mad at them for leaving. I just wish they felt the same love for Kentuc ky that I do.
Exactly
You have no idea how they feel about Kentucky.

My intent
was to say that I would sacrifice at least one to two years because of my passion for Kentucky that I have had for thirty years. No way they could feel that way. I don’t expect them too. All of you are just so quick to jump on opposing comments. Not really sure why my opionion makes you so quick to do that. Its jjust the way I feel. Nothing more nothing less. I know they love Kentucky but in no way can they love Kentucky the way that all of us do. Do I think PP had a love for Kentucky more then they did……yes. Because he had more time to do it. They are using Kentucky as s stepping stone to their careers. That is fine. But you don’t know how they truly feel either so don’t act like you do. Done with beating the dead horse.
Honestly, would you sacrifice
potentially $15 – 20 million dollars (or more) to come back to UK for another year or two? I know there are people out there that can afford to pass on that kind of money (huge trust fund, etc.) but I don’t believe any of these players fall into that catagory. That’s one helluva lot of passion.
well
what is one more year? Seriously? Yea it is alot of passion. That is why I don’t expect them to have it the same. They weren’t born and bred Wildcat the way I was.
no Ten, they werent. They were brought here by a man who promised them that if they
listened, did as they were told, and worked hard, that there would be a huge payoff for them in the end. They have not yet had time to develop into a hardcore Kentucky fan, and they may never do it. But it has nothing to do with respect, or love of UK, and we shouldnt be questioning that in these kids……they have all said they loved their time here, and in today’s world, that is all you can ask. Let them spend their graying years spouting their love of UK and helping to bring others into the fold. This is all we have, the games, the kids. None of us are multi-millionaires based upon our abilities, we need to have the passion to keep it going so that kids like DeMarcus and John can have a place to go that appreciates them the way we do. They dont owe UK or us a thing, they have paid back already more than enough. Anything we get from these kids from here on out is gravy.
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
So true, ABC
Some of the payback these guys have to offer we just won’t know until it happens. Some may very well become stars and lead their idolizers down the blue path in the years to come. All we can do is appreciate their time here, wish them the best and wait for the dividends to prove the passion.
