OT: Pitino lands Dingle

He got his PG from Iona, Dingle, Taylor, Davis, Luis, and Alleyne for the backcourt. That's quite the haul for St Johns. He also brought Slazinski from Iona, who used to be at UL and kept Soriano. Another frontcourt player and they will be a tournament team.
Anyone who thought Rick wasn’t gonna be able to recruit very well to St. John’s were totally mistaken. He’ll recruit better there than he did at Louisville. Most likely without even leaving that tri state area.
 
I hope he plays us and beats the snot out of us. I am so over our snake oil salesman. I was all about the L1C9 jokes back in the day but the truth is that was all smoke and mirrors. We were really only talking about Rick’s record vs Worldwide Wes.

Wes has moved on.

Take out the trash.

You already got one foot out the door, take another step.
 
I think objectively he is the single best X & O’s coach in the country…..a vile human being personally but he knows basketball.
I would like to present exhibit A....

I'd love for Pitino to be the only coach to take four programs to the Final Four. I know Cal owned him in the Kentucky-Louisville rivalry, but if I'm starting off a program with either of these guys at the age of 35 and in their prime, I'm taking Pitino six days a week and twice on Sunday.
 
Pitino landed in the perfect spot, he can do what ever he wants and the media will look the other way. He's always been a favorite of the North East media. There's a 50% chance he'll do great and 50% chance he'll just be like any other coach in the NCAA. But there's 100% chance he'll find a way to stay in the press, whether it's good or bad. He could care less who he helps or craps on as long as he gets what he wants. Just ask Iona.

The guy came from the Ivy League.

He’s nothing for a top team.

As for Cal vs Pitino. Cal is twice the coach Pitino has ever been.

Even Tubby could outcoach Pitino in a close game. And Tubby is a career loser.

But now it looks like there’s St John’s fans to go along with the Kansas fans here.
Stupidest post if the night award goes to....
