I think they play several games a year in MSG... with the relationship Oats and Pitino have, I could easily see a home and home scheduled in the near future with them...

I like the fit. Pitino reminds me of McGuire; both dapper dressers sporting slicked back hairstyles. (Carnessecca (sp?) was a hell of a coach there.)

So it's official. Not sure how to feel about it.

He's got some Wall St. NIL $$ coming in. He also grew up near that area. He's going to cook there in a couple of years.

Well CRP has come full circle and is back in NYC. He should do well at St. Johns and should be able to recruit the fertile NY high school players to St. Johns.

"Go find another program, son." Harsh, cold reality.

Sounds like Coach Prime.

Didn't take long.... may not be a home and home, but this was a no brainer...
