Syracuse refusing to play all their old rivals like UConn, St. John’s as well had even further helped to catapult them to irrelevance. It’s not the only reason, but the point is, embracing rivalries for what they are is good for both programs most of the time.

As a SJU fan I agree with this totally. Definitely not the time to talk trash in that way to an illustrious UConn program. No leg to stand on at this point. I will remind we do have several national championships long ago when the NIT was split with the ncaa as top tourney, but that’s...

Believe it or not, rumor out there is SJU likely to land 6’10” HS senior forward/C and McD’s AA Niko Gundalo to the roster. He’s committed to Washington but it’s being said that he has already de-committed but hasn’t made it public yet. Stay tuned.

At this point how you see them matching up on paper by position? Just curious as a SJU fan. This years SJU team entirely different from last years. Can’t even scout last year for both teams. Curious on breakdown?

Trilly says SJU just landed Ian Jackson, top transfer out of UNC.

As a SJU fan this is what I will say about this SJU team. They don’t pass the eye test. Not in the least. Watch a game and you won’t really see where the stats come from. Box score at the end of the game has 7-9 guys with double digits amongst other lofty numbers. Somebody said “give Kadary...

This is exactly what happened. Slazinski thanked Pitino when he left via Instagram for never lying to him and always being there for him. I believe he helped him getting to wvu as well.

You can imagine but that’s not the case. All of Pitino’s current and former players will tell you that he promises zero when being recruited. Kids play for Pitino because of his pedigree, but he does not promise kids anything. It’s pretty well-known.

Which Louisville players can’t stand him specifically? Quotes please? He has a history of being narcissistic? So was Calhoun, that’s not a crime. He was not a failure at the knicks but did openly say he was not cut out to be a GM-type role at Boston and admitted it. Doesn’t make him failed...

Uh, that is not true at all. All his former players love him. Slazinski thanked Pitino a few days ago for being honest with him the whole time on Instagram. In addition, Pitino had to fill an entire roster. If it were UConn recruiting good players even later in the year, not a single fan on...

I don’t think you’ll see Pitino play entirely run and gun like his early days. I think he’s changed a bit offensively. He does want Soriano capable of hitting threes but most likely more like UConn utilizes the bigs and allows them to take shots on perimeter.

I meant Pg not pf.

I think the 5 is gonna be tough too with Soriano and Ejiofor. Jenkins likely the starting PG but not sure whether Dingle or Wilcher will step through there as well.

Rumor is he’s a done deal to St. John’s early next week.

Nobody is losing scholarships I’ve heard. And Pitino plans on bringing in a 15th player in this class if you can believe that. SJU will also be hiring a GM for the basketball program imminently.
