Considering he’s almost 84 that’s 70 + 14 more years than that. I’m watching my 88 year old grandmother falling apart, so…Uh, I know many 70 year old, and older, men and women, who are as sharp as a tack.

My bad. Thanks for clarifying bama. My apologies guiness77. Mea culpa.
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. That's never easy to deal with. And again, my apologies. I thought you were referring to Pitino's age. Bamafan straightened me out!

My dad is almost 69 now, and although his health isn’t what it once was, he is most definitely still sharper than a tack, fingers crossed that it continues that way!

Selfishly want this one to come to fruition.
Right, your friend's son? Man, that'd be great on a couple fronts!

Yes. I mean, christ, I haven’t seen him in a long time but I’ve known him since elementary school and he’s definitely a good dude. He was a good player in his own right. One of the best in our town and we lost to state champs in the county semis in ‘95.
Nahiem Alleyne whats the odds that we land this kid who said he is going to announce tonight at 7pm. Havent heard anything about him although we had interest
40% 3pt shooter from Plano Texas. Home of Cruz Davis. Just entered portal this afternoon but hs already transferred once already.
Today shows you that I was serious. The man knows what he's doing.
Our peers are getting higher level transfers compared to us. I’m a little concerned for next year
ok so thats 4 almost in a row.....Now lest review all the nay sayers who said just 3 days ago that rick didnt have one committ yet. Plus this newest one is so extra sweet because we basically stole one from UCONN. Think about it your team just won the national championship and you decide to come to SJU with Pitino! Take that Uconn not only did we beat you once this year looks like we did it again! For the record all 4 I would consider upgrades over what we lost
seriously! Last week people said oh no nooo committts. Now we have 4 in a few days. Just cause they may be higher level transfers, doesnt that mean better quality. If it was anderson as coach yeah maybe, but rick. Come on smile a little it was a good weekend here!
Getting commits is good but at the end of the day we gotta go out on the floor and compete with these other teams and I worry about them having better talent

Give Rick a chance. He is not done recruiting by a long shot!
I know he’s not done. And I will totally give Rick a chance. I’m excited for the season regardless.
I just don’t love the moves so far. Feels like we need some BIG commitments to fill out the rest of this roster or else talent wise we will be one of the lower tier teams in the conference next season
With the best coach. Don’t have to win the league in year one. I’ll be happy being on the right side of the bubble.
There’s some really good coaches in the Big East man. I rock with pitino but it’s a lot to ask of the guy to come in with a roster inferior to most of the league year one and make the tournament immediately.
