    Look….he can find talent.

    He had JT Toppin, Donovan dent, and John Tonje all on his roster at one point this offseason. Tomje and Toppin went on to be all Americans, dent is the number one portal player.

    This year, NM beat ucla, VCU, CSU twice, Marquette. They gave MSU all they can handle. All while losing two transfers that turned out to be All Americans.

    NM is physical. Will be nice change.

    I felt like the refs really helped Mich State in that game.

    Honestly, I have hyped myself up for this hire. I love it now. Fanta loves it and got me hyped too.

    Fresh start, new blood. Lower floor than Mack I think, however it comes with a higher ceiling.

    Pitino is young. He's going to be motivated.

    X is going to get National attention from this. Pitino vs Pitino is going to be theater.

    Can you imagine if he can get Dent to come with him? That dude with be a POY candidate. Hope we can get him.

    I am committed to being 100% behind Pitino. Lets get it.

    I just found out he was born the exact same date as me. It’s nice to be called young. I don’t feel it but thank you.

    Everyone sucks at Minnesota. He actually got them to 2 tourneys.

    I was shocked but am now decidedly excited at a fresh start.

Charleston seems like a retirement job, Pitino has a lot to prove. Pitino was rumored to Villanova and West Virginia. We are certainly not giving up, we are going for it.
    Totally agree. This is why I think the ceiling is higher.

    I think there are real concerns with Mack's motivations and his "All In(ness)" on the portal/recruiting that needs to be done.

    If its because he is fired, we'll be looking for a new AD as well. So at least theres that.

    Yeah you’re probably right. I was being a little sarcastic but who knows. I got a feeling we are gonna have another tourney year this year. I think this guy is young and coming in hungry. His name alone might even bump up the nil to stick it to Miller lol. Jk on the last part.
