Richard Pitino Jr is the next head coach.

[Xavier]

If he brings Dent and we keep Conwell…watch out.

Unlikely

Pitino did win the Mountain West regular season title at New Mexico along with their first-round win against Marquette. Suddenly glad they didn't beat Michigan State.

Not sure how I feel about this. First outsider in my lifetime.

You weren’t around for Gillen? He was HC while I was there. You must be a young buck (as I just showed my age with that reference).

This blows me away. I was oh well ho hum Chris Mack is back. And I am totally backing this great hire. He knows talent, X will help with some definite NIL$.

He is an outsider whoi likely wowed GC.

I know what Mack is like . We knew Mack. I ddint want another 4-5 years of "local boy" Mack,.

Someone who will leave as soon as daddy moves on

I don't think dad's career is going to affect Jr. If he wins at Xavier, he'll leave, but i seriously doubt it will be for St. Johns. His dad doesn't even want to be at St. John's. Just where he ended up.

Thad Matta didn't have any Xavier ties when he was hired in 2001.

My comment stemmed from this: https://nypost.com/2024/02/06/sports...hen-he-leaves/

So Pitino recruited Dent, the number one player in the portal, and Toppin who transferred to TT- who is an all American.

He had a better year than X with less NIL. I’m willing to give him a shot

I was thinking that Matta was the last outsider. Worked out better than we hoped

Great hire.

Give Xavier Administration credit for getting it done in a quick and efficient fashion.

You can be assured that Jr. will bring his very good point guard with him.

His PG isn’t coming here.
