October 2008 article:
The Class of 2010 was well represented as there was a Barbarian in the house. A nickname that described this young man's play from an event last year, 6'5" Patrick Konan from The Rock School has moved his game outside. Yes, he can still play in the paint. Yes, he can still defend bigger, stronger players, well within reason anyway. But, Patrick has found a jumpshot that works from the three point line and he is not afraid to shoot it. He can handle the ball well in traffic and showed a good ability to make an assist or two to keep defenders guessing just what he was going to do. His game has improved immensely over the last year. It will be interesting to watch this young man over the next two years.
Patrick Konan 2010- A physical wing player, Konan plays with a nice blend of energy and skill. He does a great job of handling contact in the lane and can knock down the jumper as well. However much the 6-foot-5 athlete improves his ball handling will have a lot to do with how high he can raise his stock as a prospect.from rivals
Patrick Konan led the Rock with 30 points on 12-of-17 shooting and added nine rebounds. Konan, a 6-foot-5 junior, had 14 points in the third quarter and finished with 20 in the second half.http://www.tampabay.com/sports/basketba ... 950028.ece
Liberty Head Men’s Basketball Coach Dale Layer announced that Patrick Konan has signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) for the 2009-10 academic year.

“Patrick is a guy I was recruiting while I was an assistant at Liberty,” said Layer. “I closely followed Patrick’s career over the past two years and he was the first player I called after being named head coach, gauging his interest in Liberty.”Dale Layer: 1
Konan selected Liberty over offers from Florida International, North Florida, Stetson and Utah State.

And yes, JC will go where Jesse does...and that really does help us out...package deals are a lot harder to make happen if you were not expecting them

Thanks for the comforting words re: Jesse's choice, that makes me feel a lot better. And I like Rooster, so I'll take that comparison as a compliment
I believe you may be the female version of Rooster
I'd say 75% LU right now and after more time with DL this week that could finalize things. He's only seen or been with DL a handful of times since he was hired so it's not like it's something been on his plate for quite sometime and still leaving us hanging. I expect more from the Sanders family then to allow this to continue through the summer weighing options.
