Pitino got a better player in Tounde Yessoufou
He’s far and away the better athlete and almost certainly has a higher ceiling if his skills develop, but it’s a bit of a toss up whether he’ll be a better basketball player for this year. For right now, he’s a bit in that mold of a lot of Cal recruits where he’s amazing in the open floor and finishes pretty well if he can bully his way inside, but doesn’t really play a complete game to his full potential. Kind of a polar opposite of Momcilovic, who doesn’t have many stand out physical tools, but perfected a particular skill to a crazy degree. I’ll be pretty interested to see which one turns out to be a better player for this year.

Last year, he was largely a non factor this past season unfortunately
Damn really? Is he back? I remember wanting him so bad. Looks like I was an idiot lol. I just liked his game and athleticism at the time.

he would be a JR?

If we get Milan, we're top 10-15 easily on paper, probably higher. It's obvious a bunch of "fans" here want us to suck this year so they can have their opinions about Pope being the wrong hire validated. These fans also hoping we don't get him.
What if we do suck? What will you say next? One more year?

No, I've been critical of Pope and he needs to have a great season to remain UK's coach. I just can't stand seeing people say ridiculous things like MM won't make us any better.
I can't help but think that's what they want to happen because he could take us to another level and this ends up being better than the class it seemed like everyone wanted weeks ago.

I am sure this kid is a good kid, but this is a lie:

“my decision to attend St. John’s has nothing to do with money.”

I am not saying he meant to lie, as many people don’t contemplate the meaning of their own words. But, no one with at least one firing synapse believes it had “nothing” to do with money. It’s a business. Money mattered. That does not mean other things did not also matter. But money mattered. St John’s has a war chest.
