People are really sleeping on Providence. They have 2 all conference level players plus a bunch of other good players.

The coach is the X factor, but they have better players than last year. The returnees all all a year older and the pieces to replace the losses are upgrades. We will see what happens, but Im inclined to think you are right. THose players have something to prove after getting a raw deal from lyin ed cooley.

This coach has a plan. He's bringing in some grownups he can trust. A coach with a plan is dangerous.

Kobe's comments have a tone of desperate insecurity about his own team, and possibly declining mental stability.

I wish his meltdown didn't have to play out on our forum, but we should be nice to the dude. It's only sports.

I'm hearing a lot of whispers that Zuby Ejiofor (Kansas prospect, #57 ranked 6'8 215 sophomore) is landing with St. John's

Yeah he’s expected/rumored to announce today for SJU. 6’9” 240 though, big kid.

that should lessen the disappoint for Pitino when he couldn't get Nelly Junior Joseph to commit to St. John's.

I assume that’s a knock on SJU taking a few Iona players, but Rick P. had to replace 11 players and the kids he brought over can play at this level for sure and some will fill out the bench.

Not a knock at all. There was no sarcasm in what I wrote-I meant what I said. What I was implying is that Nelly Junior Joseph is good quality player that can play in the Big East and would've been a great pick up for Pitino. It must have been disappointing that he couldn't get his former player to follow him to St. John's much in the same way that he failed to get Walter Clayton Jr.
 
I still think St Johns is probably in the 5-8 range. Tons of mid major talents and unproven high majors who couldn’t get minutes at their last school. Maybe the Pitino factor gets them up to 3-5, but Marquette/UConn/Providence just have way better rosters.

I don’t see them as misses for Pitino and I think ultimately he got better players. I would have probably rather had Clayton Jr. Slightly over Jenkins, but no contest bringing guys like Alleyne and especially Dingle in instead. I think Ejiofor has much higher ceiling than Nelly Junior Joseph.

Ps. No surprise he got handed off to the other Pitino at New Mexico.

So how ugly is Kansas's campus? Lol

He must be a city guy. It’s a hell of a lot nicer than Queens unless you want something urban. But he’s just making up things to appeal to the fans. He was clearly unhappy with how little Self played him, but he was behind Wilson. Would have been behind KJ Adams. Pitino has playing time.
 
SJU had a rebuild. Not sure there is a single PG on the team though. Jenkins played more off the ball at Iona though he had good assist numbers. That is a lot of traffic around Alleyne for him to get PT.

PG: Jenkins (Iona),
SG: Dingle (Penn), Alleyne(UConn), Conway (VMI), Davis(Iona)
SF: Taylor (OSU), Luis (UMass)
PF: Slazinski (Iona), Ayo (Iona), Traore
C: Soriano, Ejiofor (KU)
