Rick Pitino - Head Coach at St John’s University!!!

We are going to be a matchup nightmare for teams. We can easily play 4 guards and a big man.

Practices are going to be must see TV (If they were on TV)

Don't want to get too far ahead of the curve or risk a head injury, lol, but this team may be the most exciting squad, with 1 more slot to fill, in decades.

This is the big thing right here. I almost didn’t even want to worry about the offense until we nailed down the defense and athleticism.

We got hardly any easy points last year and getting easy points is the backbone of any Pitino team.

It’s why I am not in the Kesean Pryor hype train. The two biggest issues from last season besides lack of chemistry were defending the 1 and not having a 4 that could switch fluidly. We fixed that with Smith and Scott and added Richmond as well.

Let Pitino work with Vince the Prince to start blocking shots and we can switch 1-4 and suffocate teams with pressure, traps, and deflections that result in a layup line.
