During his 51-minute Internet “chat” with UK fans on Thursday, Patrick Patterson was asked the main message he’d want to convey about the 2009-10 season.
“Expect greatness,” Patterson responded.
That expectation came through as loud and clear as a Patterson dunk. More than 2,000 people participated in the “chat.”
Highlights included:
– Patterson on his perimeter shooting: “I want to hit all of my three-pointers, but at least one a game.”
– Patterson on whether he’ll grow out his hair in an afro again: “If enough people want me to grow it back, I will.”
An instant poll showed that 67 percent of respondents want to see the afro again.
– A disquieting moment. When asked about the finger that hampered his play last season, Patterson responded, “Still swollen.”
– Patterson on junior college transfer Darnell Dodson: “Tremendous shooter and leaper.”
– Patterson saying he wants to be known as “P-Pat” this coming season.
– A fan asking for a parting comment on next season. “Make sure you’re watching because this year will be special,” Patterson responded. “Don’t blink.”

That worries me about the finger. I wonder what the problem could be?
I’ll take him any way he wants to wear his hair but if you’re taking a vote I’m against the afro. I can’t wait to see him when there is so much other talent that the opposition can’t double or tripple team him.
P-Pat your awesome, thank you for staying at UK.
I hope Jodie does the same.
