Meeks-Patterson likely to test waters

And by waters I obviously mean NBA draft status. Larry Vaught writes both will test their draft value before the NBA draft in June. None of this is really news, as most expected them to do so, but UK's not going down without a fight. Pat's trying to line everything up so he can graduate next year, which leads me to believe there's at least a chance of him coming back. Don't think anyone is sweatin' Jodie leaving, but stranger things have happened. Daniel Orton (2009 UK recruit), who has become close to Patterson, is trying his hardest to get Pat back for one more year.

“Daniel asks if Pat will stay and I have to tell him I don’t know. He’ll text, ‘I will get the ball to Patrick.’ He really wants to play with him and take some pressure off him along with (transfer) Matt (Pilgrim). Maybe Pat will think he will stay and they can go further next year with Daniel and Matt,” - says Tywanna Patterson.

Everyone hope this Orton kid is a very convincing young kid.
