Goodbye Tubby, Hello.....??/ Rich Pitino

Sounds about right.

How is Pitino doing with the new assistant coaches - opinions?

Have you heard anything with getting MN talent on board?

What do you think of Daquein McNeil?

Dont know much about Young, but seems to have good recommendations. i like the Ben Johnson hire. He has credibility and played here.

Havent heard much other than there has been some contact on the recruits. I think it will be a little unfair if he is criticized for losing all 3 giving the timeline. I think it is a major success if he can get 1 of them. I have one of those "I know someone whose wife works with Tyus' mom" and the word is Duke for him. But even though it is my story....I think the odds of that being true are no better than any other rumor out there.

As for Daquein? I cant even pronounce it! Just have to have faith that he fits the system Pit wants to run. Didnt have great scoring numbers (12 ppg I believe), but that doesnt necessarily mean a whole lot for PG.
