Was Shoes still listed as of yesterday?
Rick's picture needs to updated-it looks like it was his Freshman college year
Hope Van and Zendon stay, but Steve Masiello, Bob Walsh, and Taliek Brown are not listed...& think that staff changes, but we shall see.
I said it first! Lol.
Not sure, I never thought to look. Just found it somewhat worth noting he was still listed even though they obviously took others down.
That’s ok I am right there with you. Only I was out to lunch with people who could care less about college basketball and I had no one to tell. It was frustrating.
It will be interesting to see if Rick's staff can have the recruiting impact that Lavin, Chiles and co. did in their first cycle and a half.
I expect the team to be more complete, and have a better W-L record. But im not sure anyone should expect anything like that Harkless-Harrison-Sampson-Garrett-Pelle-Greene-Pointer class.
And that's OK! Because what did that heralded class end up having to show after 4 years? 1 tournament birth.
Give me 2 of those top 50 type guys, and a complete roster of transfers, jucos, and defensive minded role players that actually make it to campus, and I think the VASTLY better coaching make that roster win plenty of games.
Don't get me wrong, I believe RP can recruit with the best of them. But what we saw here 15 years ago was unique, and not necessarily in a good way. Pitino won't play his second season with 7 scholarship players. Expect a more wholistic approach to roster construction.

God, please don't let me die before next season or before we win a national championship!!!!!
This site is like a therapy group. I can't talk to anyone outside the circle about how ridiculously excited I am about this.
What the hell were you doing the rest of the time?
Is she still mobile or does she use a walker? Dates must be cheaper if you only need to pay for mushy meals...Recently met a girl on FB dating who knew about our program and thought that we were still going to sweet sixteens!
