Yesterday we brought you news that Larry Vaught was reporting that Daniel Orton will spend the summer in California training with “Hell’s Trainer”, Frank Matrisciano. Late last night I found out the current plan is for Patrick Patterson to also spend 8 weeks in San Francisco training as well. Patterson will be leaving UK soon to make the trip and he and Orton will spend eight weeks with the “hardest basketball trainer alive”, to get in shape and get their bodies ready for next season. Matrisciano is known for training NBA players like Gilbert Arenas and has a bit of a cult status amongst the top NBA guys. Now Patrick and Daniel will join them in the 8 week session.
Here is the link to the article on Matrisciano that we linked yesterday. I wonder if he will accept KSR bloggers as well.

June 12th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Somebody posted this in the responses to Orton yesterday if I recall.
June 12th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Krebs isn’t going though. He’s already one tough SOB.
June 12th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Thanks payne.
June 12th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
We’re going to have the most bad ass team alive next season.
June 12th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
I thought Patterson spent last season with Hell’s trainer?
June 12th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Let’s hope he doesn’t “train” them right into Gilbert Arenas’ knee problems??!!
June 12th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Is this the 1:00 tidbit?
June 12th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
I hope this isn’t why Gilbert Arenas keeps getting injured.
June 12th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
PPat is DA MAN… another reason you gotta love the kid!

I’m ready for someone to be a negative nancy and complain about how this means no chemistry building for the whole team as a unit, and how this now means we will lose in Cancun to Rider or Sam Houston State.
June 12th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
I thought we were going to get a juicy BCG story.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Nothing else going on tonight.. I say we have a LIVE BLOG… anyone agree??
June 12th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
12) This may be exactly what Orton needs to push Cousins this year, and how about the chemistry that will develop between Patterson and Orton. Patterson will be the perfect player for the freshman to look up to.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
This guy also trains Blake Griffin.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
we’ve just been tid-bitted!
June 12th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Demarcus Cousins will also be spending the summer in California…. in Compton
June 12th, 2009 at 1:04 pm

June 12th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
LIVE BLOG..
June 12th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Hey Matt could you please tell us which one of these is the big tibit
June 12th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
There are some rumors going around that Dominique Ferguson may be playing his senior year at Oak Hill Academy. Doron Lamb also plays there and I think we get Lamb and then he works on getting Ferguson back.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
This is awesome to hear! I’m comin straight outta Comtpon….
June 12th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
This is funny, I vacationed in San Fran last summer and went for a run a few times at the Golden Gate Heights Park. That hill is no joke, absoulutly beautiful view but the job up and down will wear you out. It is at the top of the Mosaic steps if anybody is from the area. Funny to know Pat and Daniel will be pouring sweat out there just like me last summer. The good thing is that San Fran is very chilly July & August so no chance of heat stroke.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
21) I agree with you…. I’m confused..
June 12th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
On previous post, someone mentioned some pick up games! We need more info on that type stuff! For those bashing the white boy from Madisonville, you may not comprehend what you hear! Then again, Josh Carrier was lights out in practice! Hood can ball, yall!
June 12th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
24. Be honest, you walked it.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Correction: the “jog” not “job” up and down will wear out…thats what she said
June 12th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
I skimmed through the article, sounds pretty cool.I expected nothing less of Patterson, but a freshman already making these strides to get better is awesome.Sounds like they will both come back in tip top shape….
June 12th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
BTI nominated for sports journalism award after last night’s ground breaking live blog. Details at http://www.hghalftimereport.com
June 12th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
John Wall will be spending the summer at local car dealerships and Best Buy
June 12th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
this aint a violation of NCAA right?
June 12th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
No but naming yourself “Megan Calipari Is Fine!” should be
June 12th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
31) the article says that his training is free for people who are not in the NBA or don’t have agents (i.e. people entering the draft)
June 12th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
I went to one of the pick up games at UK and Bledsoe scored 16 of his teams 20 points. He even had a putback slam that was better than Patterson’s vs. UofL. He came out if nowhere and skyed in for the jam. All the players were like “Damn, dat boy can fly!”
June 12th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
I think BTI needs to be sent to do live updates from Hell.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
34) when was this?
June 12th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
34- Awesome…I’ve heard he can jump out of the gym…I can’t wait to see it.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
36. It was yesterday
June 12th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
38) When is the next one…that the public can go to?
June 12th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Both of these guys are fortunate they have the means to be able to do this. Also, if this trainer wants to be unknown, working out two UK players is a terrible idea. I’d love to know how much the rates are.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Demling has an article about Hood and it said that he had been playin in the pick up games as well.
June 12th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
38) was wall there??
June 12th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
39. I’m not sure I’ll ask Mike Pratt cause I’m good friends with him and I’ll tell you guys right when I hear
June 12th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
42. Yeh Wall was there. The only players that weren’t there were Orton and Meeks
June 12th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
40) if you reed the article it kinda sounds like the training is free
June 12th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
33) We need to start a collection for airfare to send Kige Ramsey out to hell’s trainer and to tape a series of youtube training videos. It will be epic!!!!
June 12th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
43) Thanks..I just moved to Lex a month ago. I lived in NKY and have always been a Cat fan. I would love to go to this pick up games!
June 12th, 2009 at 1:24 pm

Jon Hood now up to 200 pounds.

June 12th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
The training is free, and I guess each person pays for his plane tickets, room, and board? Don’t hate on me guys; I’m just asking!
June 12th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
i heard that pitino was going to send hisguys to train with Frank Matrisciano, but instead decided to make a video with tony horton and p90x…
June 12th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
I just finished reading the article about the training. Orton is going to be even more of a beast than he already is!
