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

Think I saw Pitino inside the rail yelling at his horse while he was behind "Who raised you?". (Sorry but I'm becoming obsessed with that line. It can be pretty funny. Think I'll use it on my own kids. 🤪)
Much better than the line about "no lateral quickness and unathletic", lollol
 
Extremely looking forward to this upcoming season, but I think next season (26-27) is huge for pitino. As it stands right now, st.john’s might have the biggest recruiting advantage in the sport for next season. The football schools will cheat and/or change the rules, but there may be at least a small window here where sju can go all in and outspend them by a lot. I’m curious especially for people like @SJUDave who talk to the GM if there’s a plan for next season to buy an even more outrageous team.

Imagine the 5 in 5 year rule passes…..
 
Not too many schools would be in a better position than us with Zuby, Mitchell, and Sellers. Hopkins out in that scenario?
Hopkins would be out, but literally everyone else would be eligible to return. You'd think if the season goes as well as we want it to, guys would declare for the draft. But with our NIL & a competitive draft, we should be a viable option for those first round tweeners on the team (Zuby, Ian, Sanon) and no brainer for the 2nd round tweeners (Sellers, Mitchell).

Lets not rush to next year before this year begins. The staff and program are ALL IN on this season. There's a lot that was put into this roster, the cost is astronomical. Whatever you think it is, it's more. They have pushed their chips into the middle of the table for this season - from the roster additions, to the prep work, to the schedule...there is such a sole focus as you'd expect on winning and dominating this season. And with Coach P given all he's done plus his age, I look at everything as a year to year thing.

So lets reach the heights we all desire and expect this year and worry about next year later.

Media day is next Thursday, First exhibition game is next Saturday, second exhibition game is the Saturday after that and then it's show time on 11/3.

We have long desired for these kinds of offseason's, conversations, expectations - realistic ones - lets continue to rally around this team and staff, give them the support they deserve and continue to bring St. John's back to the national stage.

OUR TIME IS NOW.
