What happened? Why isn't he in Texas for 8 million per year? Texas is still in the tournament. They play again this Friday But you said he'd wait and get $7-$9 million at Texas or Kentucky.

There weren't many of those folks if any, there were a lot of folks who were/are convinced Gtown should have reached out to Pitino Go back and read the posts and blogs. Early on They were convinced Pitino was coming here.

Early on They were convinced Pitino was coming here. Nah, not interested since I never thought that.. I thought you'd hit me with the fact I was convinced Cooley wouldn't come to Gtown... You're slipping Professor but I'm glad you admitted that you were talking out of your backside

“Val Ackerman credits St. John's leadership, and in particular President Brian Shanley, for making this hire.”
Lol I wonder what it’s like to have leadership that’s willing to take risks.
Wonder what she’ll say at Cooley’s thing tomorrow if she comes but fair enough to her for giving St. John’s the thumbs up since it doesn’t help when they suck

The Big East is showing that it is one of the very best basketball conferences in the USA. Shaka Smart, Coach of the Year, and UCONN in the title game for Men's basketball. Hopefully with coach Ed Cooley, the Hoyas can step up and better represent its basketball heritage.

"Dan Hurley shudders thinking about the UConn program he inherited back in 2018. UConn had just endured a miserable 14-18 campaign and to make matters worse, prized bucket-getting recruit James Akinjo asked out of his National Letter of Intent before landing at Georgetown. UConn finished the season rated No. 179 on KenPom sandwiched between Wagner and, uh, Pacific. The once-proud UConn program that had won a national championship four years earlier was in the depths of despair... UConn's best players are homegrown. Sanogo, Jackson and Hawkins have bought into everything Hurley and the UConn coaching staff have asked. Instead, of going to the transfer portal to find one-year, go-to guys, UConn intentionally searched for reliable role players. It had the star talent in place. It just needed to plug the holes, and the transfer portal could do just that... "I'm proud of how we've gotten here," Hurley said. "This was pre-portal. It was pre-NIL where you could just -- back then you had to develop a culture, develop young players. A recruit had to believe in your vision. You couldn't necessarily purchase it. So, yeah, I'm proud of how we've gotten here. We built the program. And we still continue to do it the same way. Majority of this team and majority of our teams in the future, it will all be young players coming in, developing, and then supplementing them from players from the portal that fit us. Not the other way around." 247sports.com/LongFormArticle/From-No-179-to-No-1-How-UConn-built-a-new-template-for-March-Madness-glory-in-transfer-portal-era-207807993/#207807993_2
