Slick Rick On UL's Talent This Year, Per Trey Lewis

[Dirk2Bowie]

This is the best Pitino quote of all time.

 

[Dirty Dutchman]

I just want to know who is this year's "greatest player he's coached since Mashburn". There has to be one. I'm going to guess Mancok or Anus.

 

[GLR5555]

This may be closer to his worst team ever than his best. He's gotta try something. Bellarmine is not an easy out for them.

 

[Bodvar Bjarki]

I wish some reporter would ask him to rate this years crop of hookers.

wow. is this optimism or total delusion?:
L1c4tillidie---
NewIm sure everyone is like me and is happy to start the season and leave the offseason nonsense behind us. What do you all predict will occur this year?
Looking at the schedule it's hard to find a bunch of losses.
-Michigan St. will be tough on the road but they are still waiting on a player to get eligible. That one is a tossup.
-I'd call the sUcKs game a lock if it was at home. I still think we have a significant advantage inside and that our experience will carry us but you never know in that arena if you'll be playing 5 on 5 or 5 on 8. I'll call it a win for now.
The ACC will be a grind though.
-NC st. on the road. Maybe im just a pessimist but I think we go down in that matchup. Tough place to play and I think they are being overlooked.
-I think we split with both UVA and Duke. 2 very good matchups.
-At Notre Dame is another tossup.
-UNC is a tossup too. Thats a very good team there. I think the best in the country but I think there will be a lot of distractions for that team this year. I think this is the year where the academic scandal finally catches up to them.
So that leaves us 27-4 or 26-5 at the end of the regular season. Good enough for a top 2 seed and a deep run going to come in the tourney. Damion Lee will be a ACC POY candidate. Mangok is my breakthrough guy.

i wish i could unread that. i mean it's one thing to be naive and overly optimistic but they are gonna struggle to be an 8 to 12 seed. they do not match up well with us at all. they can only hope to ugly our game up and keep it close and hit a few shots down the stretch. if the refs don't absolutely baby them we are gonna win by 15+. they do not have 1 guy that would play for us... we have guys who won't play for us that would start for them. geeze.

Can anyone really make this shit up? I've seen stupid before, but this is beyond stupid.....

 

[GLR5555]

I think the dumass bug has bitten every UL fan on their Rivals board. Here is a brief snippet.

Re: Good read from Jeff Greer about Lewis & Lee @ media day12:54 PM
I think we are title contenders this year, we have the pieces and a motivated coach. We are being overlooked because of our NBA losses, but we are bringing in offense, and guys who are willing to lay it all out on the line defensively for Rick.
I suspect at worst we get an E8 this year, and make play in the ACC tourney final. Not saying who we play or win, but we get there.

[warrior-cat]

I'd bet they don't even know the answer to your question. With 8 NBA players, I hear he may try to platoon.

He might want to pontoon after hurricane Katina.

 

[WettCat]

He's just setting up his coaching replacement to fail after he "resigns" in the coming days.

That "experience" has carried them to a 1-7 record against UK since Cal's been here.

 

[Tannerdad]

You know he doesn't even believe the ridiculousness of this. Merely a distraction for the fans to keep their minds off....

WHORES.

 

[irishcat1965]

I just figured out that Petjurino is actually Rick Pitino.

 

[crawfords corner]

Coach speak. Nothing wrong with it.

 

[jr40831]

That would normally be insulting the intelligence of a fan-base, but since he's at Louisville, it works.

 

[BlueCat43]

 

[rabidcatfan]

 

[Deli owl]

So wouldn't it be less time consuming to start a threat if rp ever says something honest to the media? Now THAT would be news worthy.....

 

[kat57]

North Carolina's scandal will bother NC but Louisville's scandal won't bother them.

Why even play this year, just go ahead and give Louisville the title since they are the best. The best team that isn't in the top 5.

 

[kentucky_wildcat_#1]

If this quote is for real, what a load of bs. This UL team is going to be one of the weakest teams Rick has coached years while at UL. If this teams makes the tourney, Rick has done a great job coaching this group of scrubs. This group has no frontcourt. The guys they have playing in the post is 21 ft of suck. Their best player is from a mid major. He could end up being one of the best in the country, but odds are he is going to be average. He might have looked great playing mid majors, but when he starts to Play against ACC talent, he is going to figure out fast how much of a step up its going to be.

 

[UKCatsFan10]

If it weren't for false confidence, they'd have no confidence at all.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

Maybe but you sure don't here Cal telling guys that. Hard to take anything he says seriously when he misuses superlatives all the time.

If I've said it once I have said it a million times......Pitino is the worlds greatest misuser of superlatives in all of history and frankly everyone knows it too.

Rick Pitino Says Current Louisville Team Is Better Than 1996 Kentucky
TOPICS:1996 KentuckyKentucky WildcatsLouisville CardinalsRick Pitino

OCT 28, 2015


Louisville’s Trey Lewis said at ACC Media Days earlier this morning that Rick Pitino says this is the best team he’s coached in 40 years.






Keep in mind that Pitino coached the 1996 Kentucky Wildcats…which many consider to be the best college basketball team of all time.

What about his Louisville national championship team? Or the great team he had at Providence College?

Is this the best team Pitino has coached in the last 2 years?

 

[Catmyers]

LOL has he lost it?

Obviously the season has to play out so it remains to be seen but Rick is working with these guys every day and we are not so we have to take his word for it as of now. He's already said that Damien Lee is a better version of Ron Mercer and that we have 8 NBA players on our roster. If all of that is true, then yes, this will quite possibly be the best team he's coached in 40 years.

Okay, I'm sold... Petjurino is a UK fan trolling us all.

You don't know how bad I wish you weren't a fake account.

But just one question. If Lee is that good why didn't he go in the first round of the NBA Draft this year instead of little brothel? .

 

[jedwar]

Gotta be.

 

[kentucky_wildcat_#1]

I enjoy dealing with the UL fans that swear at the start of every season they have more talent than Kentucky. Atthe end of every season, it's back to "Kentucky should have won with as much talent they have on the roster". You can't have it both ways. If UL has more talent than us but we still win, it has to mean Cal is a great coach, does it not? Those type of UL fans are always my favorite to deal with.

 

[Jkwo]

I just want to know who is this year's "greatest player he's coached since Mashburn". There has to be one. I'm going to guess Mancok or Anus.

He already identified mid major transfer Damien Lee as a better version of Mercer. No, I'm not joking.

Dude, seriously, you need help.

Remember the Siva is better than Wall idiots over there. LOL.[/QUOTE
No, I don't. Yet, you weren't here then, so please explain.

 

[loublue22]

I don't think I can name 5 guys on their roster

 

[wildcatwelder]

Gotta be.

I think it's quite obvious myself, and I find it very funny.

UL fans ARE indeed delusional, but nobody is THAT delusional.

 

[ccukuk]

I can't help but remember the Rick Pitino that benched Derek Anderson for the 1997 championship game even though he'd been cleared to play. That was a man of character that cared more about Anderson's future than winning another championship. It is sad to see what has happened to the man.

There is a guy who really wants to argue some issue regarding Anderson's97 injury. It's like mebocat or bubucat. Point is, if you say sitting Anderson led to the title loss, he'll argue that the 98 team had more talent. You don't have to mention the 98 team, he just wants to fight about it. Anyway, good luck not finding him. He'll accuse you of running away even if you never have a dialogue.

 

[Ben101er]

Trey Lewis: "Coach Pitino says this is the best team he's coached in 40 years. You guys don't see how we battle everyday."

I'm not even kidding, I am somewhat starting to feel bad for this guy. He is clearly losing/lost it.

Rick is actually pretty slick, hence, his nickname. He makes this kind of statement, and then after he resigns and someone else takes over, as interim coach, finishes 17-15, he then has the UL faithful saying, "If only Rick hadn't resigned, we would have another NC."

 

[JRS_OH_Cat]

The media won't do it, but a fair question at year end will be "Why weren't you able to get your best team in 40 years into the NCAA tournament ?"

 

[musrat59]

It could be that those two transfers are unguardable.

 

[Bluest Member]

Remember the Siva is better than Wall idiots over there. LOL.

I think it was Siva was faster than Wall,but after HookerGate ,I believe they were talking about time in the saddle.

 

[doneitall]

This makes me wanna see ul keep pimp-tinio as he and clappy will never be a threat. They might would get a decent coach if pee was forced out.
