Tywanna Patterson and her husband, Buster, enjoyed a recent vacation to California even if their primary purpose for going was to see their son, University of Kentucky junior Patrick Patterson, play at a camp designed to enhance his basketball skills and increase his strength and stamina.

Patrick Patterson and incoming freshman center Daniel Orton have been in California for about two months training for the upcoming season.

Earlier Larry Orton, Daniel’s father, also went to watch the camp and he came back raving about not only the progress his son had made, but also about how impressive Patrick Patterson looked.

Tywanna Patterson came home just as excited and shared these observations.

Question: How did Patrick look and has he really gained weight while getting slimmer like Larry Orton, Daniel’s father, said when he visited?

Patterson: “Larry Orton is correct!  Patrick looks great!  Yes, he has gained weight but it’s ALL muscle!  He is ripped, stronger and very toned.”

Question: How hard were those workouts and do it hurt you just to watch them?

Patterson: “The workouts are really hard, but Patrick is doing great and getting better each day with each workout! He has always had great work ethic and he is getting it done, so it was not really hard to watch.  It made us proud to see him working hard like he usually does and getting it done.”

Question: Is he really knocking down all those outside shots like Larry Orton said?

Patterson: “Yes, Larry is correct again!  Patrick is knocking down outside shots, extending his long-range jump shots, and knocking down 3-pointers.  You will see a more versatile Patrick and what he is capable of doing. Get ready!”

Question: How did Daniel seem to you?

Patterson: “Daniel is also doing great as well and has lost weight. He is stronger and added muscle as well. He and Patrick look great!  You wait until you see them both.  We are very proud of them and their hard work ethic!”
