Which Big East Program is most negatively affected by the Pitino hire?

[Scrutiner]

That's my pick other than Providence for the most hurt by Cooley to Georgetown and Pitino to St. John's. Nova went from having the best coach in the country to the most unproven coach in the Big East along with Stubblefield at DePaul and Neptune is getting off to a really bad start. Overwhelming majority of their recruits come from a 3 hour radius of DC.

Agreed. They made a politically correct, but unproven, hire.
Poor guy had to step into the guaranteed failure shoes all newbies step into when replacing a legend. He looked lost at the end of the year and Cooley going to DC will really hurt his chances at maintaining their regional recruiting dominance.
