[Moderated by Matt Jones]

Today Seth Davis said this in his column:
“• I hate to disappoint Kentucky fans, who have every reason to be excited about their team’s run of eight wins in its last nine games, but I’m hearing Patrick Patterson is seriously considering turning pro.”
No offense Seth….yes you are the luckiest man in the world to have the job you have with the qualifications you have (second maybe only to me), but on this you are incorrect. I guarantee my source on this is better than yours and unless something DRASTIC happens (like a realization that he will be a Top 5 pick), Patrick is back next year.
Carry on….

“Hoop Thoughts” by Seth Davis
Matt, I believe the title is misleading. I’d like to sue for false advertisement because I’m not sure Seth Davis thinks.
February 26th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Matt…Since I’m sure this question is on everyone’s mind given this post, under what circumstances do you see Patterson leaving after next season? after Junior? … we couldn’t be lucky enough he’d stay four years.
February 26th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Pat is a smart kid
Pat has smart parents
Pat has smart coaches
Smart people don’t make bad decisions.
Going pro would be a bad choice for Pat right now. There is to much
he still needs to learn that he can get with 1 or 2 more years
February 26th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Seth is an absolute tool.
February 26th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
What are you talking about Seth?? You love to disappoint UK fans.
February 26th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Seth may be an idiot, but I would not be shocked if PPat went. Fact is, I do believe he should stay. He has shown they he still struggles against physical defenders such as Scott Padgett, and could really benefit to another year of conditioning. However, he would likely be a lottery pick now, and let’s face it, NBA scouts are fascinated with youth. Staying, even if it helps his overall game, could cause his draft stock to drop.
February 26th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
I meant David Padgett
February 26th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
I know Pat has been talking lots about “the league” when he is not in front of cameras and reporters. I hope he stays though.
February 26th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
I dont think hes a lottery pick just yet. I think hes just on the outside. This years draft is VERY DEEP, and loaded with stars. I think PPatt would be best served working on his offensive game another year and then going pro.

Branden Roy stayed 4 years at Washington. Now an All Star in 2 years. PPat could use some more college. Plus, he will be a small PF in the league and I think will have difficulty until he gets more bulk. BC will teach him more skills that are necessary at the next level. There is not much training in the NBA and many clubs are sending kids down to the D-league for their training. Might as well get that in college and have fun doing it versus riding a bus to get to games.
February 26th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
If he starts to think he is a top 5 pick next year it would be called a delusion not a realization.
February 26th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Next year should be a much better year for pats’ draft chances.
February 26th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Bud Mackey’s myspace says that he is UK bound…
February 26th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Yeah and the wall shows a one sided conversation with some chick where he obviously said that to her as well. TIFWIW

#20 where have you been lol?
February 26th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Seth Davis = Tool
February 26th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Seth Davis is a no talent A$$ Clown!
February 26th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
Seth got pwn3d, indeed.
#20: last week called and they’d like their scoop back.
February 26th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
[...] Jones says not so fast! Unless there is a drastic change and he’s believed to be a top 5 pick, he’ll be [...]
February 26th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
NBADraft.net updated their 2008 Mock Draft yesterday, and they currently have Patterson, if he were to come out, being the 20th pick overall.
Basically Pat, they are saying you need to stay in school.
February 26th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Seth Davis is an ass hat. I think PP will stay one more
year. Just imagine UK without Patterson next year. We would
have a St. Louis type of offense. I doubt we would average
55 points per game.
February 26th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
one of our other favorite analysts, andy katz, last night said we would make the tourney
February 26th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Wasn’t Seth Davis the moron that said that Ramel needed to step up in the 2nd half of the Georgia game after he got KO’d?
February 26th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
#30, I do not remember if is was him or Gottlieb.
February 26th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Yes #30, how he has a job I’ll never understand.
February 26th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
PP would be a smallish power forward and doesn’t have the outside game to be a small forward. He needs to stay and work on his ball handling and his perimeter shooting.
February 26th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Agreed #33, those are the exact reasons he won’t leave. The only people that will get in his ear about declaring (money grubbing agents) are the ones that don’t matter to quality people like PP and his folks. I don’t see them falling for the bullshit that falls out of those guys faces.
February 26th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
It seems to me that Mackey coming to UK isn’t as far fetched as once seemed.Jones whatcha think about that?Also Al the Louisville people are getiing upset about the schedule conflict for football,wtf?Did UK complain when we couldn’t get Freedom hall for the IU game or when they changed dates on us this year?Here’s a linik to anyone interested.

Hey Matt Jones, when is the show going online again
February 26th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
I’d be surprised if PP left after one year, but BCG did allude to PP having to make an important decision in the “very near future” in his call-in show last night. It was in the context of a caller asking what we could do to keep PP at UK as long as possible. BCG said that the staff tries to help a player keep improving but then went on to say that a player who would go in the first round has a big decision to make and a player who would be a lottery pick would have a very big decision to make. FWIW I was left with the impression that he (BCG) wouldn’t discourage a player who would be a lottery pick from going.
February 26th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Just to add that I disagree with those who say PP would be a SF in the NBA. The NBA trend is toward smaller
line-ups. With his height and ability to score inside in traffic, it’s difficult to understand why a NBA team would want to play in him at the 3. All his strengths point toward the 4. Can you imagine PP with another 15-20 lbs of muscle as he continues to mature?
February 26th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Pat’s cousin’s brother’s sister used to date my sister’s cousin’s brother, and they went out to eat and try and rekindle their old flame last tuesday. Well Seth Davis was their eating with Dick Vitale and Jerry Tipton, Billy Packer, Rece Davis, and Jay Bilas, and apparently next year the NCAA is going to lift new ruling to allow Demarcus Cousins, Noel Johnson, John Wall, and Derick Favors to all enter the draft and hopefully keep UK right where they are!
HATERRRRSSSS!!!!
P.S. SI hasn’t been cool since like 1995 Seth Davis, get a new hobby!
February 26th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Seth Davis is just trying to generate hits on his page. He doesn’t know d*ck and is just trying to make his boss think he is important.
February 26th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
20) DO YOU KNOW IF JAI LUCAS PICKED FLORIDA OR UK???
February 26th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Seth Davis is nuttier than a squirrel’s turd.

Seth Davis is an idiot, but I do like him better than Doug Gottlieb. I just want to punch that smug punk right in his mouth. He never talks like he’s speaking his opinion, but rather like he is proving how stupid and wrong everybody else is, even when everybody else agrees with him. What a douche.

Why are UK fans paying attention to 2 DUKE GRADS arguing about KENTUCKY basketball recruits?
February 26th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Seth Davis is a Moe Ron.
February 26th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
From Seth’s bio on SI.com:
“An avid golfer, he also has performed stand-up comedy in various clubs throughout New York City.”
Now THATS one ticket I gots to have right there.
He could bring a tear to a glass eye I’m sure.
February 26th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Oh Yea, Blame it on the Duke grad. If the Dukies had the same record as UK in a tougher conference, the ACC, with losses over G-Webb and San Diego, you people would feel the same as Davis. You all ARE still just a few games from the 41-point drubbing. Quit getting mad when people say you haven’t proven yourselves, because really….. you haven’t

#49 you just changed my life. How did you find this?
Also, don’t know if i’m pointing out the obvious to everyone else, but you can put anyone’s name in.
February 27th, 2008 at 12:49 am
Hey #55 KayutsSUCK - You don’t even read what the discussion is, you just leave a drool of a response along with a smudge on the end.
Seth Davis is a tool… and now you have proven that you are too. Two retards out themselves in one day! Yeah!!!
February 27th, 2008 at 12:55 am
I bet Pat is so sick of hearing about this. He has said repeatedly that he is staying in school. Why can’t we leave it at that and who cares what freakin Seth Davis says.
