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

I guess this is the right thread. Went to an event yesterday at a bar on long island I guess about 75 people. I was just meeting a couple of buddies I didnt know the others. I walk in for my grand entrance 20 minutes late and what is literally everyone talking about ? St Johns and Rick Pitino. They were foaming at the mouths how excited they are and knew every player that just left and every player we are recruiting. I casually asked some of them how they got their info it was pretty much all twitter because these guys haven't been hard core st johns fans but once my buddies introduced me to them as the st johns nut job all they wanted to talk about was st johns. The party was actually to have an excuse to watch the masters and drink but no-one looked at a tv it was literally almost all st johns at least to everyone I was talking to ( or staring at the bartenders breasts )

Hiring Pitino is going to bring college sports in NY to an entirely different level that personally I haven't ever seen ( st johns fan since 87-88 ) but people are dying to root for st johns they just want hope.

I absolutely believe now ( especially once we get a few recruits ) that Rick is going to go down as the most transformative thing to ever happen to st johns

Just to buttress mjm’s take-it’s the off season and look at the tremendous amount of traffic on this board! Fridays used to be dead on here even during the off season now I have trouble keeping up with all the posts and I’m on here all day every day. As I’ve said before, hiring Pitino isn’t the best thing St John’s has done for the basketball program in so many years it is the best thing EVER!
