Billy The Kid On The Move (You Hear That Patterson?)

It's been reported all over ESPN today that Billy Donovan will not take the Kentucky job. That doesn't mean he's staying at Florida. It's been reported that the Miami Heat will offer Donovan the job at season's end because Pat Riley will retire. Think about it, it's a good move. Donovan lives in Florida so he wouldn't have to worry about relocating. Also, he may go the NBA fresh off of back-to-back titles, something Coach K almost did after the 1992 season.

So, here it is Patrick Patterson, this is why you should come to Duke:
1) You will be the featured post presence the moment you step on campus
2) Duke is still the best program in America (A 22 win season and NCAA birth was a failure)
3) You'll be on national television all the time
4) Coach K has produced more NBA Draft selections in his time than anyone else
5) Look at the other schools you may go to: THEY DON'T WANT YOU! I mean, if Kentucky wanted you so bad then why would they push out Tubby knowing he had a good relationship with you? Billy Donovan will most likely bounce at the end of the season and the team will most likely lose all of their stars and fall out of the national spotlight. Wake Forest is a young team and if you're going to pack for Carolina, Durham is the only place to be. Virginia, to me, is a one-hit wonder with or without Sean Singletary. He most likely will go and JR Reynolds is gone and their supporting cast is very weak. That leaves West Virginia, your hometown. Sure, it'd be nice for you to stay home but that system doesn't produce low post players (i.e. Pittsnoggle).
6) Duke is the only program out of those that presents stability at the coaching and player position.
7) We need you, the moment you step on campus, we will be in the Top 10 no matter what the elite teams lose to the pros. In fact, the only team that I can see right now that will definitely be ranked higher initially is UCLA because they will return pretty much everyone and add Kevin Love, a very talented center.

Patrick, I know you're weighing all of your options but the above is all you need. See you next Fall...
