I guess that’s a “glass half full” way to look at it. I believe it’s his last year of eligibility. He is like the Energizer Bunny who can do it all on the court. Hopefully Pitino can hold onto some X players and land some promising new ones in the portal so it’ll be a good game (and a good season for X).Quote:

Maybe we have enough $ to persuade him, especially if he and Conwell start talking and decide they want to play together for a year.Quote:

Pitino getting right to work. He has reached out to Quinnipiac forward Amarri Monroe. Would be a great start to rebuilding the roster.Quote:

Richard’s Dad, Slick Rick is off to a fast start in the portal nabbing former top 25 high schooler Jason Sanon transfer from Arizona State.
It's interesting that we haven't seen Conwell or Traore in the portal yet. Could we possibly get lucky here? I know with Des last year it was a few weeks before he went in, so not getting excited yet, but just wondering if anyone has heard anything with these two in particular. Maybe they are waiting to hear from Pitino to see what his thoughts are and see if there is mutual interest.
If Conwell and Traore by some miracle stay, that's a huge start to building the roster. I mean, I assume so. I've never actually seen Traore play, but I'm assuming he's pretty good (and still will be after the injury).
