Patterson, Lucas, Sanchez, Legion and Hobson

[LondonCat]

With the news that others are receiving offers from Coach G. I woudl think we would see movement in the Patterson and Lucas' camps. What does everyone else think?

It's possible (and hopeful), but Lucas and Patterson seem dead set on making their decisions when they want to make them.

Finally I am excited by recruiting. Thank you Gillespie

I would like to think so, but I doubt it. They've waited this long and still have plenty of top schools willing to take them. I doubt they are going to feel any pressure to commit to UK because we offered other people scholarships.

Gillispie wants to be here, and has a passion for coaching at UK...

He is showing that he will not be held captive on the recruiting trail by 18 year old kids, he is seems he is telling these kids... Sign, don't sign...I will find players that want to be at UK like I do.

Well said sir. I agree, they don't want to come go find somebody that does.:thumbup

Sanchez, Legion and Hobson would be a great addition to this team.

I've done some quick study on the three and they look like players. Hobson is a 6'-7" Tay Prince; a lefty with a great outside game. Legion can shoot, handle the ball and is high on the list of UCLA and otherbig time programs.Sanchez, while not quite the player as Patterson, would add much to the front line. He is comming off a mild knee injury and seems to be really turning it on.

If any combination of these commit and we strike out on Luca/Patterson becaue of it, I'd not have a problem. (Although I truly believe Lucas will be a CAT)

Mark me down in support of that statement...I have no patience for players who don't care about being here (Mercer, Rondo and Morris come to mind).
