Pitino's time out strategies and Joel's cardio are going to be even MORE important than we thought!
That was bugging me, but then I figured there's always a chance that he's a clever Swedish guy.
I would love to see you and Makingplays going at it in an octagon in an MMA style combat over your polar opposite, but steadfast opinions about Anderson.
Brandon Gardner is an exceptionally likeable kid. He attended virtually every sju home game, on on days CTK played where he would rush to CA straight from his own games. The first time I was introduced to him he flashed a big smile and when i put out my hand to shake his, he opened his arms wide and hugged me. He said he couldn't wait to play here. His mom's first question during recruiting when our team wasn't doing well was "Is coach Anderson going to be here ?" Both mom and son liked Anderson and staff a lot and he already made a lot of friends on the team.
To add, and who knows what’s 100%true, but what she says about her son “would be at SJU if NiL was the only factor” (paraphrasing), I took it as a good sign. We won’t be “out bid” when it comes to that.
I don't expect either to commit this weekend. Clayton will want to mull things over with his family as it’s between us and a school from his home state.
There are certainly handlers, parents, and other family members who get involved in school selection, often wildly overvaluing a player. While they sometimes can be real pain in asses to deal with , i also don't blame a 17 year old for turning to someone he trusts will advocate for him and help with the decision. At least one of our recently departed players had a crazy family member making ridiculous demands.
Those who expect us to contend for a BE title right away will of course be upset. Anyone who realizes he’s attempting to completely rebrand us and eventually get us to places we Havnt been, will hopefully understand that if the year 1 record isnt immaculate that it’s not time to panic.
And even with this, I expect a better year than the one we just had.
I am sure Pitinos expectation isn’t to suck along the way. But I’m equally confident what he envisions in year 3 is gonna be different than year 1.

Most high school kids who have committed to a college are great kids. They are very happy when they are at games as everyone is kissing their ass and wants to take a picture with them. Staff would have liked him to stay notwithstanding that his skill set is not what CRP is looking for. Could he develop over time of course.
Agreed Mase but I still expect Pitino to put a team together that will at least make NCAA Tournament next season.
Agreed. I expect next year to be better than Lavin’s last year at minimum. The bar is super low…
