Just read another thing about the fifth year. You can use the 5th year at a new school post-transfer. If you use the fifth year at the school where you were in 20/21 then you do not count against the 13 scholarships in your last year. If you have transferred then you do count against that schools scholarship limit. This means that if a school had say 5 seniors who played for them in 20/21 and all decided to stay at that school for their fifth year that school would be able to offer 18 scholarships. Pretty unlikely but interesting. Talk about a deep bench.
Yayyyy, I think Storr will thrive under Coach Pitino. If he commits to playing good D sky will be the limit for him.

I’m not crazy how this process is playing out.
I appreciate the bluntness and transparency but just feels like the show Survivor at the moment.

He should give everyone returning a rose. But I guess that's the Bachelor or something similar.
kind of like picking a team on the playgrounds... Don't see anything wrong with it, top guys always picked first

So assuming Storr accepts Pitino's offer to return we now have answers on 3 players.
Soriano - Staying
Storr - Staying
Pinzon - Gone
Would expect at least a handful more by tomorrow.

Honestly it’s kinda badass
Usually coaches have to beg kids to play for them and kiss their ass
Pitino takes this job and everyone automatically respects that he’s gonna decide who he wants here and who he doesn’t.
Only one kid in the portal! They really all want to see if Rick wants them first. Wild stuff
I don’t see it that way at all and we have no clue what he has done other than to run to Stepinac to offer 2 fantastic guards the likes of which we have not seen since Omar Cooke and Bootsy,Made offers to roughly 10 top 60 kids, is still assembling his staff and has started to speak to the kids. However, it is possible he has spoken to all of the kids already, we will never know but this staff is moving at lightning speed so far.
Actually Pitino has had a ton of 5’11 to 6’1 guards. It’s almost like he prefers them.
Peyton Siva was 6’0 in shoes and only shot 29.1% from three over his career. Posh shot 29.9% as a freshman (25% for his career), 45.2% from the field and 73.1% from the line. Siva was 41.7% from the field and 73.7% from the line and he won a championship (starting next to 6’0 Russ Smith).
From a purely basketball perspective, Posh fits in wonderfully with what Pitino looks for.
That’s how it is with a Hall of Fame coach like Pitino. You don’t decide whether you want to stay. You have to be either asked by him to stay or convince him as to why he should allow you to stay. The total opposite of all our recent coaches. I thank all the current players for choosing St. John’s and giving it their all. I wish them all success with their basketball endeavors in the future. This is a new era here at St. John’s and you either have what it takes to step up to the challenge or you don’t. We’re striving for a different level now. Not every kid currently here is going to fit the style of play or have what it takes to thrive at the level that will be expected of them now. I do feel bad for the kids who might really want to stay but just won’t be asked back and like I said wish them nothing but success going forward but this is the reality of the situation now.
Storr could really take off next year. He needs to be coached to play defense and get on the boards and pitino won’t allow it not to happen. Hopefully he takes the challenge.
