Good try but don’t quit your day job

On the last point, we have several studs in our backyard who are High School seniors so let’s get on it.

What a great interview.

Good interview. Interesting points to me were:
— would only go to Euro league but not nba or another college job (did get a couple calls last year, but loves MSG too much)
— doesn’t know what he’d do if he retires
— kelvin has made him rethink recruiting freshmen
-- thinks we can get to 12-13 regular season games at MSG annually, but would still need to play the cupcakes (my phrase) at Carnesseca

Other interesting points:

-He specifically called Mitchell "a power forward" and Hopkins a wing.

-Said Prey has made the biggest jump and stated he will backup the 5 () and the 4.

-Continues to ignore Ayo's potential redshirt and calls him a senior (I wonder if this is a defensive strategy to keep teams away)

-Seems to really like Sellers

- I liked hearing him relaying that Richard asked him "Dad why would you ever retire?" as well as Pitino's response that it keeps him young and he would be miserable retired.

- Pitino continues to give off the impression that he finds recruiting with the NIL exponentially easier than the old days of having to travel half the year and win over families of high school kids. Now it's a dollar amount combined with his name, New York, and MSG.

He does seem pretty set on those 3 paying significant time together.

Which is what I tried to tell Marillac but you know him he’s still trying to devise a plan that would have Dylan Darling at power forward.

I knew you were going to posterize me on this

Really wonder which schools reached out to Rick the past couple years

Definitely IU, I don’t think he wants to live in Bloomington at this point.

not to be that guy... but being that guy.... he said Prey has made the biggest jump of the Returning** players.... not a ton of comp for that particular distinction

Freshman year high school White Chocolate couldn’t dunk. Sophomore year he was dunking occasionally street ball with a running start but that’s progress on the mean streets of Glen Cove. 36 years later he’s only dunkin doughnuts

Prey will improve but big men take longer to develop so my expectations aren’t too high
