Doc, to get back to answering your post, the reason the numbers are so low is basically because players are unhappy with Tubby's treatment once getting in to his program. Of the 17 who have left Tubby's program, only Rondo left to go to a higher level...and we all know that Tub ran him out blaming him for Team Turmoil and last year's NCAA tourney failure. Tubby, IMO, is cluesless in handling the 'present day HS stud'. Just look at this year's situation with Perry Stevenson and last year with Rekalin Simms. Both players started out the first 5 or so games of their careers great, scoring and becoming fan favorites and then all of a sudden they disappear into Tubby's doghouse, hardly ever seeing PT. Sims wouldn't take Tubby's crap and left and word around Lexington is Stevenson is considering transferring this summer. For some 'insane' reason, Tub will see to it that SHEE-ray and Bobby get most of the minutes. This type of treatment has spread to the HS stars around the country and they are choosing to go elsewhere (can you say Hansbrough and Wright..and Young just to name a few). I really can't see Patterson and Lucas putting up with Tubby's crap....they just seem to smart for that. Patterson will go to Florida to play for Billy D where he can showcase his talents (something Tubby doesn't allow in his system) and I see Lucas ending up at Okie State.
