Fans who follow University of Kentucky women’s basketball closely understand there were some gaps created in Matthew Mitchell’s recruiting in recent seasons after a well-documented series of transfers, departures and coaching upheaval in the program.
Mitchell is not waiting for the problem to fix itself. On Thursday night, UK announced that Chasity Patterson, one of the top point guards in the nation in the class of 2017, will transfer from Texas to the Wildcats and become eligible to play in the second semester of the 2019-20 season. Patterson, a sophomore, will have 2 1/2 seasons of eligibility to complete at UK.
