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

He's up to 6 now?
A poster did a nice job several months ago creating a chart of the players who will have to leave and who might turn pro resulting in how many players Pitino will need to fill the roster next year. Frankly I forgot the data included in that chart. As it stands now, does anyone have a pretty reasonable idea how many new players will be needed next year? Is Pitino way off on his estimate of 6 players? Just curious.
 

"RJ is going to try to go pro,” Pitino said on Friday as St. John’s prepared to face Seton Hall Saturday night. “They’re all going to try to make it and move on. And that’s the nature of the business.”

Pitino was initially asked if it was possible that Deivon Smith could return next year, because he sat out a portion of last season as he waited for his eligibility to be approved as a multiple-time transfer."

Seems more just Rick being Rick than any nefarious thing with Zags.


This is the time of season everyone thinks they will go pro. I’m not too concerned. Let him test the process and get feedback.
 
Pitino said these things in the press conference.
Understood, why I prefaced it with “If”; it just doesn’t appear to be taken out of context. In fact, the Post article makes it seem like Pitino offered the opinion on Luis of his own accord.
 
Losing players to NIL bidding is like losing a player to the pros.
