You are definitely wrong, Posh played his best when the ball was in his hands.Last year having to share the ball with Curebelo, he never seemed to get comfortable. If you remember, once Curebelo was suspended, his production increased and he played very well. I believe that some on here are selling Posh short.

If Rick Pitino is the coach that I believe he is, he will recognize Posh's talent and what he brings to the table. If Posh is not here this upcoming season, I will thank him for his contribution to St Johns over the past three years and wish him the best wherever he lands.

I really loved Posh's post on Twitter, 'Never Ran, Never Will", this says all you need to know about the Heart of this young man.

No, I'm definitely not wrong. Granted Posh had 4 nice games towards the tail end of the season. He also had a terrible game the last game of the season. His entire season was up and down. He had a couple of DNPs. He looked very unhappy much of the time on the court. You can blame CMA and/or Curbelo, and no doubt they are partly to blame, but some of the blame falls on Posh. His best season was his Freshman year when he played mostly off the ball. I love Posh, but he is not a traditional half court PG. I believe Pitino would have found a role for him here, but I also believe that it wasn't the role Posh wanted. I'll trust Pitino on this one. Guess we'll find out next season who was right and who was wrong.

Posh was fun to root for, wish him the best. Probably better off going to a mid major where they need a starting point guard. Down to Wusu, Jones, Curbelo for the unknowns, right?

Back in the day it was fun rooting for the players. No more. Maybe Pitino will bring in a few one and dones. Personally, If I was a four or five star player, I'd be hesitant to come to a school where the coach and the fan base looks at you like you're shit if you don't turn out to be Chris Mullin or Walter Berry.

I love it when "fans" trash players they rooted for less than a month ago...even implying they're not up to Pitino's moral standards.
 
Really sorry to hear this. I wish all the best to Posh and really enjoyed watching him compete so hard for three years. Always loved his attitude. I’d love to see him land at another big school…he can dish, rebound better than most, gets his points, and is a beast on defense…he’s better than mid major. We’ll get past this emotional letdown of him leaving, and so will he. This just hurts a little right now.

No board members are trashing Posh, or any of the others.

Back in the day as in last year? The last 23 years where we haven’t won a NCAA game? Why won’t Pitino bring in good role players who stay for 3-4 years? Come on man

Pitino hasn't historically brought in one and dones, btw.

Plus, you think this doesn't happen but much worse at blue bloods? UNC just ran a kid out of town who took them to a national championship game a year ago. UK is running Calipari out of town. It might not be the nicest thing but this is the way of college sports and has been this way for decades.
 
And, lol, Pitino just got here. Should he bring in 10 freshmen all at once for a recruiting season that’s like 90% done? He shouldn’t try to get the best players he can, right away?? He’s in a position where getting transfers and (oh my gosh) one-and-dones are kinda his best options at this point. You all woulda KILLED for a one-and-done the past 15 years and now we actually have a chance to get a few.

I’m getting kinda sick of some of hyperbole around here.
 
Posh's lack of shooting and off court disiplinary issues led to Pitino not wanting him back. This is not surprising at all.

Rick will bring in a better shooter, a better culture fit and an overall a better pg.
