Didn’t thank the coach who recruited him, right?
Think he was one of the guys that was previous anderson/Tj KC aau connection. But yeah, the omission seemed pretty overt.
Was Van the lead recruiter or Cleveland for him? Maybe he was closer to Anderson and Cleveland, or could there be a hidden message, who knows. He did say the "rest of the staff". I find it best not to try deciphering hidden messages or agendas in tweets.
Yeah I’m thinking the same. He said the same to Pinzon

Really really would love to see Posh come back and thrive. Of course I want immediate success and agree we need some new blood to make that happen next year. But I’ve grown attached to a number of these players, imperfect as they are — Posh in particular.
What a story it would make if a few of the holdovers become instrumental in turning this program around next year!
I especially loved Lavin’s first year team bc those kids joined us in difficult times, suffered mediocrity for years and “toughed it out” to accomplish a special season.
I love Posh. He busts his arse as much as anyone we’ve ever had when he’s on the court. I’d love to see what he can do with elite coaching. I’m hoping this is all a leverage move by RP.

Guys, we need to recalibrate our expectations. We think of Lavin’s last season and Mullin’s last season as special seasons. We need to start realizing that with Pitino here those kinds of seasons (21 or 22 wins, one and doke in the Dance) will be down years from now on. We’ll be at 25 or more wins most years and playing the second weekend of the tournament.
If you want a Posh who can shoot, you can just keep Wusu
I *really* hope Keita stays.
Draw your own conclusions. My guess is there is at least some dialogue about coming back under right circumstance.
Yep, sounds like there is a chance he could return, but has to make sense for both sides. At least it's being discussed
I'm a little disappointed about this one.
To me, Stanley at the end of this year, was where Soriano was at the end of last year (maybe even a little bit ahead). Now, Soriano had a big, giant leap up this year, so maybe asking Stanley to do that was unfair, but I think he probably would have gotten better. He also showed improvement on his shot, as the year went on, though he still has, and probably always will have, bad hands.
I trust Coach Pitino's judgement, but that doesn't mean he's above making any mistakes. I don't think this is a make-or-break one, but as of right now, I'd have to consider it a loss for us.
I think Clayton Jr., is meeting Rick P on Monday,.
Zach mentioned the other day that we wouldn't know about WC Jr., until the next couple weeks...but that may've been smoke.
Pitino probably has a good idea what he could get out of the remaining roster and would not have much trouble replacing them with equally talented players except possibly Keita.
He is the biggest gamble but could turn out to be the biggest gain. It is interesting to see as Vegasman 2000 posted what Pitino thinks he could get out of him.

I doubt Pitinio is a gambling man. This is Pitino's "business", for lack of a better word. A big part of business is managing and minimizing risk. If you don't do that you can be toast.
See Coach Anderson - didn't fix his outside shooting risk / gambled on a certain transfer in and it completely backfired on him, resulting in him losing his job. Also see Silicon Valley Bank - didn't manage their risk very well.
Pitino may "gamble" as you say, but there is no way he's not managing his risk. That risk will be managed one way or another.
