For starters, Patrick is a good kid from a good family with plenty of money. They're not filthy rich. They are upper middle class working folks. He won't be leaving any time soon because of money. He'll get his money one way or the other and he knows that. Be it as a pro player or as a professional in some other field after his playing days are over. Plus everyone knows if you leave UK as a Bball player in good standing and stay in KY you can write your own ticket. Endorsement money out the WAZOO!!

Secondly, Patrick is a good student according to people very close to him.

Third, Patrick is no better player for his size than Kenny "SKY" Walker was, at this point in their respective careers.

Lastly, I truly believe that he and Coach Gillispie have a personal pact about rebuilding the UK Dynasty.

That's MY case as to why I believe he stays for 4 years. There is just no incentive for him to blow off his degree at UK before he decides to go pro.
