Not good at all. It's especially bad when you consider and couple this with the other things Pitino has done or said lately. Specifically as it relates to having a mini NBA combine and the comments he made last week on 93.9 in an interview with Perrin Johnson. I am paraphrasing here, Louisville is recruiting or looking to bring in 5 star recruits and 5 star people. I believe he stated, "we have changed our recruiting." Someone else that maybe heard this interview as well can maybe clean this up, but looking back those comments made during that interview are strikingly odd considering the news today.
What changed? I mean obviously Louisville has recruited 5 star talent. They have landed some and lost some, but those comments along with the combine seem oddly strange now.
I may be reaching here. It's just seems strange that a coach of Pitino's stature would change his approach this drastically at this stage of his career.
Funny how this occurs around the time adidas extends a 160 million dollar contract to UL.
