Happy Rick Pitino Day! Press Conference Commentary Only

[redmanwest]

“Not if but when.“. Nice.

 

[espken]

Bruce Beck with a fastball out the gate

 

[MJDinkins]

Said he has to bring in 6 to 8 players to fit his style.

Ya think we're gonna bring in that many players? It's possible.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

“I need kids that can shoot.” Like I thought, the majority of this team will not be back.

 

[Amaseinyourface]

Hey we have asked for honesty for how long? Love it

 

[MugCostanza]

"A lot of players won't be back because they aren't a good fit for me"

 

[mattc]

"A lot of these players won't be a good fit for me."

Goodbye Curbelo lol

 

[stjohnschris]

no way that Curbelo fits what Rick just said

 

[Alex9045]

Pitino just said he doesn't think a lot of players will be back. He wants to build around Soriano.

 

[Delaware]

He is not pulling punches on player movement.

 

[MainMan]

Most current players will be a "square peg in a round hole" for me.

Oh boy.

 

[Alex9045]

I think Soriano, Storr, Posh and Jones stay. That's a great foundation to build off of.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Thank goodness he realizes what a talent upgrade we need. Joel, storr, gardner. Everyone else is expendable IMO.

 

[MJDinkins]

OUCH...many of those kids felt that one. That's the nature of the game, unfortunately.

Yes.... Ouch! Deion Sanders said something similar to his Colorado football team.

We already know Soriano will be here. I have an idea of a few players who've played their last game in a Johnnies uniform.

 

[Wolfie]

Pitino just said he doesn't think a lot of players will be back. He wants to build around Soriano.

I can't access the PC, so please keep the commentary coming!

 

[Alumni Hall]

The best day in a long time for all of us Redmen.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

Most current players will be a "square peg in a round hole" for me.

Oh boy.

Agree 100%. Bring in kids who can shoot!

 

[NCJohnnie]

Sounds like 3 or 4 guys from current team, a couple of the 2023 recruits and rest from the portal and/or 2023 decommits.

 

[espken]

Rick being totally honest, can’t fault that !

 

[Mullins Revenge]

He is just trashing our current players. It must be much worse behind the scenes then we even thought.
