Pitino says Wilcher is future of program

[paultzman]

True but there is at minimum at least 6 games to go. I’d hat to be a fan trucking into Manhattan thinking that the team and staff are going through the motions to get to next season.

Some players have done that for a good part of the season

 

[dk423]

maybe more so then most coaches, would think that all coaches are also thinking about next season. How could they not in this environment?

You've got to hope that the 5th years know this is their last year, and for Dingle/Ledlum/Conway/Soriano, their last chance at making the tournament.

I thought this as well... thought it going into the Marquette game... ok They are a top 10 team... The Providence game... ok they have a reaalll good Home Court.... Then Seton Hall.... this thought doesn't register anymore.

Rick Pitino has high hopes for St. John’s freshman Simeon Wilcher

Rick Pitino’s vision for freshman Simeon Wilcher has not changed despite his lack of playing time.

I wish I did!

Our starting backcourt should be Jenkins and Wilcher playing together. Feels painfully obvious to me.

Absolutely, if you just subtract Jenkins you're halfway there.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding!!!!

Marillac2 disagrees. He wanted to start him this year over Jenkins and he is steadfast in that belief. I agree. Pitino should also start Traore over Ledlum because he is taller and Conway over Luis because because he looks a little like Cam Sprncer.
I also think we should exchange coaches with Uconn because Hurley is willing to kick a student's ass after a loss. Our coach just wants to kick his players in the ass.
I also think we should be patient with Anthony Glover next year because he needs to get in shape for the current Big East. Thank God he still has eligibility left!

Cooley would be great at addressing our Students and fans about Wealth Accumulation .
As he did to that G ‘town fan who asked if he was making a $ 1 million dollars for every Win?

Ed ‘s reply was “ I’m Rich, Mother F ——.”

Re-recruiting kids like Wilcher in NIL/Transfer mania era is huge if you want achieve a balanced roster. Continuity becomes ever more crucial. Brady faded, but with more strength also seems well worth retaining too and sense he will return.

Feels like the parents are more involved with Wilcher and Brady and less "agents" and "handlers" which bodes well for kids staying

I believe Cooley directed that at a Providence fan.

Pretty sure his brother was highly ranked, and he's probably headed toward a fifth season of college.

If you don't have one and done in your head, you are way more likely to be reasonable with expectations.

In other news, someone not previously mentioned who probably was thinking he was one and done is supposedly on the radar.

Considered a 4 star recruit, shooting (no surprise) his main strength, not considered overly athletic, an average rebounder for a 6’5’‘ player, had offers from several BE schools, including SH and maybe SJU, and if I remember correctly, Cincinnati

if you are referring to Simeon’s brother, CJ, he spent his freshman year in the BE playing for Xavier.

Sorry, well aware, considered it common knowledge which maybe was my bad.

How many times do I have to correct you on this? I don’t want Wilcher starting this year. I want Dingle and Alleyne starting at the guard spots. I want Jenkins at the 3.

You're making us dizzy with the role you see for Jenkins OTHER THAN point guard!
Dingle with Alleyne in the backcourt?
Jenkins over Luis at the 3?
I guess Traore would be at the 4 and Zuby at the 5.
