Pitino will work that transfer portal like some strange in a checkered-cloth Italian restaurant

Fify. He’s cut from a different cloth than checkered although his past dot dot dot

For his sake, hopefully he spends more than 15 seconds on it

He might, but we know he’s gonna need a quick trigger so he can finish with these recruits.

At least this time he won’t get blackmailed about getting his marks paid

Were told to go elsewhere by who?

 

[wingsfan055]

Pitino will master the NIL. He knows how to make his players happy and get them paid!

Slick Rick

Slick Rick is also trying to bring his Iona backcourt of Clayton Jr. and Jenkins to SJU.

So, they wanted to play for a subpar performing Mike Anderson, but not a proven Hall of Famer, Rick Pitino?

 

[Waquoit]

Funny how this is OK now, when not too long ago the rule was you commit to a school not a coach.

 

[BlueandOG]

I hate Slick Rick but love the attention he is bringing to the conference. Can't wait to see UCONN stomp their guts out.

When was that ever the rule?

 

[Waquoit]

When was that ever the rule?

It's been around almost as long as you

 

[willie99]

I think Pitino suggested they look elsewhere, just a guess

People don’t really believe this right? Is this sarcasm?

Ohhhh boy…our fan base is gonna have some fun at his expense. Lol.

This is wonderful for the Big East conference. During those 3 days between the 2nd round and the Sweet 16 the Big East was the talk of the nation in college basketball with Pitino, Cooley, and last but not least, UConn, Xavier, and Creighton being in the Sweet 16.

Hopefully Val Ackerman, who I think is very good leader, can strike when the iron is hot for a better TV contract.

Wrong.

 

[willie99]

Didn't Hurley tell a couple of Ollie's kids not to come? I can think of one kid from Washington that said he was still coming, but then didn't

Swap out one letter in the word paid and he will get them that too

 

[Chin Diesel]

It's almost like they changed a rule or policy.

 

[gsmooth]

it took my slow brain 10 seconds to figure out what you meant. It was a challenge to me like those Wheel of Fortune games.

 

[HooperScooper]

That's not the way I remember it. Ollie got fired. The kids committed to play for Ollie and he wasn't here any more so they decided to decommit.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Is that even within the rules. So he tells them you can come here but you will not play. I hope that is what is happening. Pitino back to his old ways. His trail is legendary. Hurley will build like Calhoun as he knows character builds champions. Of course you need talent but it has to be the culture fit. You would think he would have wanted to keep at least one of the recruits to help the optics of the situation. This could end up bad for St Johns.

Pitino will be fine, but his age is being used against him in recruiting and the portal.

Ha.... Remember the old "Louie Carnesecca is not well and may not be at SJU for too much longer" recruiting tractic???
