This perhaps paves the way for a Patrick Patterson Florida decision as well. Given the back to back national championships, it's very hard to beat Billy Donovan on this.

Scout.com has a new story on this, also for subscribers only!

Today Jai Lucas will announce his decision, and given the rumors of a package deal with Patrick Patterson (decision on Wednesday), he may spoil the party! Lucas's decision will be made at 3:30pm ET (so it can air live on ESPN News's The Hot List?)

Expect extensive coverage of the Lucas/Patterson saga at A Sea of Blue. Some rumors at Rivals point to Lucas at Florida and 7-footer Beas "goodbye Alford" Hamga to UNLV.
