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

This year is nice opportunity to do that. He’ll have a lot of holes to fill next year. Going through portal nonsense again w all the head case advisors must not be his favorite activity.

Doesn't Matt A. work through the financials with the family of the player RP is zeroing in on so when the actual visit comes, RP just make his usual recruiting pitch? Was pretty certain I heard that's the school's approach.

Nice they had CRP on today, but didn't need all the talk about Judge, Soto, etc. Shoulda' stuck more to Looie, what he meant to the school, the players, old stories.

so true, I could only get on at 12:07 PM and they were onto other things, Yankees, Judge, NIL, portal, etc., Looie deserved all 17 minutes.

IMO, more of a message to his own team. Just take care of business and win our games.
In theory metrics didn’t mean squat for us last year.

The metrics that matter are beating NCAA tournament teams. Beating New Mexico and Kansas State is a start, but we also need to win games against UConn, Marquette, Creighton, Xavier.

Think you were expecting Pitino to be something he isn’t and can’t be in respect to honoring Carnessecca and feeling what most of us are feeling. Let’s face it, although Pitino is our coach now, he’s the last person able to speak about who Lou Carnesecca was, what he meant to our program, to St. John’s University, and to New York City.
He’s only been here for a year and a couple of months and spent Louie’s prime years focused on programs in Kentucky. As for differences in character, as Louie said, “That’s why we have confession.”

I was disappointed the hosts, especially Brandon Tierney didn't keep it all about Looie. Tierney is the radio (part time) color guy and does the StJ Coach's show. He wanted to brag about being able to get Rick on the radio, and talk about Rick and their Coach show, and talk about Knicks, Yankees, Soto, "Me to BT: "keep it about the Legend that died two days before, please."

I agree, except when Rick coached in the BE his coming across us and our Coach was limited and he was a carpetbagger who left the NY environs for the Pros, and the Blue Grass state for much of our's and Lou's heyday.

By the time CRP got to St. John's Looie's health was so poor he and Rick probably didn't interact very much. Two different human beings, I'll leave it at that.
