[SJU2000alum15]

Exactly there’s room for a great kid like Drissa on the team you can’t have all star players you need some good role players as well.

When did Posh get suspended?

and if he stays 3 more years with Rick he will get great individual player development and be coached up so he can be a contributor down the line.

Anyone feeling the least bit guilty about being this excited, confident, while filled with an insatiable revenge factor over the direction of the program?

Anyone? Anyone?

Didn’t think so. Me neither. Carry on then.

The best revenge is massive success

 

[Mullins Revenge]

When did Posh get suspended?

Last year, point guard Posh Alexander didn't start multiple games due to disciplinary reasons.

I believe there was a game suspension as well somewhere along the line.

 

[ZanMan]

It probably won't happen but it'd be ironic if a CMA bench warmer is a rotation player with Pitino.

I have two words for you: Roshown McLeod.

 

[Amaseinyourface]

I’d love to watch the press conference again but havnt seen a replay available to this point.

I know I’m just being impatient. But there is a link to it now and it just doesn’t bring you to anything. Got me excited

 

[braintrust]

I watched it on Youtube...Cragg was blathering on...Val Ackerman blah blah blah...then the party starts with Pitino...

 

[Amaseinyourface]

I’m sorry but I’m not buying this.

There’s a $10mill lawsuit in the works. Mostly hinging on painting CMA as someone who lost control of the team.

And yet, now everyone except our best player and essentially the walk-on are the only model student athletes?!

Come on now.

Guys are being thrown under the bus here.

If that's the case. We'll see how many are asked to stay on board. Pitino said six to eight at the news conference.

I’d probably also keep Wusu in a better defined role where he doesn’t need to do all Anderson had him doing. Stanley a question mark for me too.

I like Stanley. I would love to see how he develops under Pitino.

I dont read it that way at all. He said "some" not all or a majority of. There were obviously issue as seen by the suspensions, the lack of paying attention in the huddles and players who had to sit out the start of games. Something was wrong here.

 

[lycidas]

How many games have you ever watched where a guy was eating popcorn on the end of the bench?

Dont forget the mass transfer of some really good kids like the duke and greg williams jr. They wanted no part of the cma dysfunction.

We had coach who sat and tied his shoes while his 26 year old assistant was running the huddle.
