I dont think Van is responsible for the character issues. With a real coach, alot of our players probably dont exhibit these bad behaviors. But when a coach lets the inmates run the asylum, a kids immaturity has a greater chance of rearing its ugly head.
Unfortunately, the damage is done for most of the players. Outside of joel and drissa, the bridge is burned. Hopefully w/ storr only being here 9 months, he didnt burn that bridge too much.

It feels like Van Macon will be returning to the St. John’s staff. Rick Pitino said he wants him to stay but the two still have to talk. Also said that status reports he got on the team weren’t great except for Joel Soriano and Drissa Traore #sjubb

For you,
Sean Woods.
Went back and looked at Providence, Kentucky and Louisville and came up with Woods. Good player and only Pitino point that had similar -still better-but in ballpark three point percentage as Posh.

Loved when he was talking about getting the right players he said it's not going to be hard. That is a high level of confidence, and I know we heard it before, but I actually believe it this time.
Do me a favor and don't interact with me on here. Thanks.

Always thought Drissa showed more potential in his limited minutes than Nywie.

Plus for selfish reasons, I think we lose LuHi for at least short term if we run off three of their guys.
It probably won't happen but it'd be ironic if a CMA bench warmer is a rotation player with Pitino.

Looked at Smith
I always gave Drissa a lot of credit. Had to redshirt his freshman year, barely played as a sophomore and yet was always cheering his heart out. Looks like his character is being recognized.
Would love to see him stay and get an opportunity down the line. Easy kid to root for.

Every team needs a 13th man. I have less than no problem with it being him.
Heres what he actually said:

Following the press conference, Pitino did interview with ESPN. Also Seth Greenberg provides bullish commentary-
Drissa may have been the last player off the bench in terms of minutes played, but he was always the first off the bench to cheer his teammates on. Always pumping them up and cheering for them. Everything I know about him is he is a good guy and I hope he is retained. Not everyone can be a star.
I don't know anything about Drissa other than seeing his limited minutes, but it is encouraging to see that RP values character so highly.
