Really? That's weak if that's true. I mean if this kid is so insecure about his own abilities to compete and earn playing time as to be concerned about who the coaching staff is recruiting (not actually signing mind you), then this kid needs to go. He doesn't sound like he's much of a competitor to me. I don't want any kid on this roster that isn't willing to compete for playing time.Originally posted by KerryRhodes:

Rick should realize he is paid by the University not as future agent of players, even Cal does not do that.
No thanks , but Rick did not try real hard to convince Trez to come back, if you going to do that Rick at least recruit some one and doners as well as shooters
Can't understand your point(s) here. Proofreading and a mastery of English helps.
"Elite program", my a$$...
Jurich needs to speak to Rick? Really?Originally posted by Law007:
Jurick maybe needs to speak to Rick
too many non conforming players and talent judgements

Senior night honored one senior (Blackshear), yet there's a total of 6 players gone this year. Blackshear (graduated), Trez and Rozier (NBA, no problem there), Agou, Gill and Aaron.
Yet some want to keep the blinders on and insist that there aren't any issues with recruiting.
A top 10 program shouldn't be scrambling in mid April to get some graduate transfers to fill out their roster for October.Three-fourths of the Top 100 high school seniors in 2011 did not make it to their senior class with those schools.
And 90% of the Top 20 didn't make it, which is where a lot of you guys think we should be recruiting.
Kudos to U of L and Wayne Blackshear, one of the 13 exceptions in the P5 conferences.
And welcome to college basketball 2015...
Right? You want credit? Hell, I BLAME you. Somehow, some way, you made this happen, just so you could say "I WAS right!!!"Originally posted by CHAZ3322:

I think you need to define prospering, the answer is, not many.Originally posted by Law007:
how many prospered at other schools?
For a coach who claims how he loves his players, he had a lot red headed step children leave his house.
I will become concerned IF or WHEN we get caught with a non-competitive team because of Pitino's recruiting. Not when it MAY appear by some to have caught up with us. Let's just wait and see how the off season and next season pan out before forming an opinion on what issues we do or don't have.Originally posted by Law007:
Not defending one player or another but a pattern clearly indicates an issue, whether it at Louisville or any other school.

This is exactly the point... Except for a school a few miles east of here, recruiting is a sideshow.
Pitino is judged on wins and losses, keeping kids progressing academically, and staying within the rules. He succeeds magnificently on the last two, and not too badly on the first one. Recruiting is a MEANS to those ends.
And when he starts to fail on any of those deliverables, let's talk about what Pitino needs to do...
Exactly. Just as "Louisville Man" Russ Smith said about Shaqquan leaving "Transferring schools won't get you out of doing the stuff you were supposed to be doing at your former school". And Russ did that without calling anyone a F-ing Racial slur.Originally posted by blubo:

...Ummmm.......... How well did you scout the kid before you signed him? Why not suggest what Pitino should have done? I'm just curious...
Let's see....... Start with literally the first words out of Pitinos mouth on the subject were "I don't know...." So you scouted him for a year or two, coached him for a year and the first words you say are "I don't know". That's problematic right there.Originally posted by zipp:
