Docuseries Pitino: Red Storm Rising to Premiere February 11, Exclusively on VICE

Well done docuseries, but painful to watch because of how the season ended. RJ said all the right things. Wish him the best. Zuby understandably disappointed when talking about the Arkansas game. That’s a true leader right there and glad we have him as our captain next season.

great finale that brings closure to the season and the way it ended and also looks ahead to what’s next

Rick had a monologue about the returning nucleus for next year. He named Lefty, Reuben, Sim, Jaiden, Vince, Zubs all as guys who will return so I feel like that can end a lot of speculation regarding the portal for our players.

I feel better about the decision of benching RJ after watching that. Even when RJ was recapping the experience, he said himself there was just something wrong with him that day, and I didn’t really get the sense that it is eating him up that he sat. I think he just kind of short circuited against their defense that day.

Zuby was the one who you could tell the loss crushed him. But it was great to hear him say his last year with us will be special

Amazing year and great coverage of that team. Love the ending where it shows Rick pondering retirement and settling down in Florida, but… “basketball is in my blood” he says. Don’t know if I see him going anywhere anytime soon. Buckle up

And he didn’t mention Brady when he did?

I think That was a mistake. All year, it was one game at a time and then all of a sudden...it's look at the potential big prize.

Think he was just trying to give them extra confidence and dangling a carrot out there of how much effort they need to give against Arkansas because of the ultimate reward that could result
 
Heart breaking to watch that last episode. Not only the loss to Arkansas, but watching the RJ part. Seeing him at the Big East Player of the Year ceremony and the way he spoke of St. Johns, his teammates and coach Pitino, it is a shame he is not coming back. It was clear in this episode it was his choice and he has earned that right..... he will be missed. It also showed what a good kid and great family he comes from and deserves our thanks and respect. Also heartbreaking that this team and amazing group of kids missed out on completing this magical season they gave us. I would love another shot with this team with one or two shooters but kids graduate and some move on.

Thank you again to this team and coaching staff for season to remember and to Vice for a very cool look inside the program and all involved. Proud to be a Johnnie fan!
