They don't need Okogie. They landed a sit-out transfer that averaged 20ppg and sounds like an MGH clone, as well as a 5* FR & 4*Soph.

Mello is another story, but given the concerns that he may not qualify at GT anyway, Auburn would be a good landing spot for him while not necessarily coming back to haunt us.

I was mainly just messin' with Peac and his assertion that Pearl's spotty rep is unearned.

Not "hot seat" stuff but I thought this was interesting ...



Can't see either taking that job unless the Rockets (which they shouldn') make an offer they can't refuse.

I love that in almost every article like this in the off season the writer goes out of his way to tell Pitt fans they are ridiculous and about to reap it.

Actually I thought the article was pretty good and quite true.
It is difficult to hire top coaches unless you are a blue blood. The sport has changed where it is in general better for them to stay where they are, then to take any non blue blood power 5 job.

I wondered if we had contacted McCallum about our bench. But he wasn't much after his boy left. Not even sure they made the tourney with him.

If you can look past the grammar this is pretty entertaining.

Nardone: Life after Jamie Dixon will be like a horror movie
That new relationship Pitt has is with former Vanderbilt coach, Kevin Stallings. If fans want this thing to work, they will need to realize they went from dating an “8” that left them for a “2” to asking a “4” to move in with them.

Welcome to the dark recesses of irrelevance, Pitt Fans. Hope you adjusted your fictional expectations meter. Your going to be down here with other former national giants for some time now. Luckily for you, the St. John’s Red Storm saved you a seat.

Say hi to Arkansas for us.

Sheesh, who wanted us to go after Pitino the Younger? :whistle:

This is like the 4th incident related to sexual conduct. This time it resulted in an arrest.

Lynch's arrest, however, extends a pattern of problems that have defined Pitino's tenure. In March, three players, Nate Mason, Dupree McBrayerand Kevin Dorsey, were suspended for the duration of the season after a sex tape was released on one of the player's social media accounts.

In February, Pitino kicked Carlos Morris off the team for violating team rules. He also dismissed two players in 2014-15 due to separate incidents. Zach Lofton was dismissed for failing to "meet the expectations and obligations of the team," and Daquein McNeil was kicked off the team after he was charged with domestic assault.

The AD there having to step down due to sexual harassment, the 3 players on the *ahem* ill-advised video release and now this. Pitino isn't exactly endearing himself to the Gopher faithful. There's a pattern developing here. On top of that he had an awful season.

I graduated High School with Bruce Pearl's son. There were a few occasions where Bruce got thrown out of the high school BBall games. I don't hold that against him as I have enough reasons to think he's a dirtbag but those are just the funny memories I have of him.

When I was younger and more foolish I was banned from my alma maters basketball games for a season after having a heated discussion with the ref court side while he was waiting for the players to come out. That was a proud moment for my parents up in the stands as the chief of police escorted me out and I told him to go **** himself.
