Give @beasleythecard credit. He is the only woke Louisville fan I've ever come across.
Donovan Mitchell going pro

Wow... Beasley you thinking about switching over to the dark side...?
We have plenty of dumbasses here too, but no zippers.
The problem, good and bad, is Pitino. He doesn't want 5* players unless they submit to him as being the real 5*. His ego basically gets in the way of the kid having an ego and stardom. Cal is good about letting the kid share the limelight. Pitino does not seem to ever want the player to get the credit. He must have us all believe, as did Bob Knight, that until HE reworked your game...you are nothing. Cal doesn't need that massaging of his ego. If the kid is good...he adjusts to fit the players strength rather than the other way around. IMO
Guarantee you that Pricktino did not grant Mitchell his blessing to go to the NBA. He is lucky to have escaped Pitino's selfish little claws.....
The only player I have seen that Cal tried to "rework" into something that they were not was Skal. I don't think Cal was motivated by his ego but truly believed Skal would have a better chance at an NBA career playing with his back to the basket. That said, Cal is definitely motivated by the dreams of his players where Pricktino is always motivated by what is best for his own dreams.....especially the wet ones.
Pitino will have nothing more to do with him now. He's no longer serving Pitino's purposes, so the kids on his own now.
Probably the best decision the kid has ever made. Good for him. Get outta that cesspool while you can.

Smart decision, he's a first round lock who really boosted his stock. Striking while the iron is hot
Jay Henderson
Matz Stockman
Are both gone.
If Snider or Spalding leave then I know the ish is going to hit the fan.
Seriously? He is a top twenty draft pick. He will play.
They might want to be careful how they schedule.
If they play a bunch of duds, then lose all/most of their tough road games in Rupp and in conference play, they could find themselves sweating it out on selection Sunday.
That pre-conference schedule rank is a big deal.
Have you seen their strength and conditioning coach? That guy is seriously intense, they'll either get in top shape by November, or he'll literally eat all of them.
They will be top ten when they come to Rupp. However UK and the ACC will likely push them to an 8 seed.
With roster uncertainty you can bet your house their non conference schedule will be embarrassing.
How good will the cards be? I haven't really paid attention to anything but hookergate.
Saw this on Twitter:
Rick Pitino tells @terrymeiners Deng will move to 2, VJ to 3 spot. "Not concerned about Donovan leaving. ... We'll be a top 20 team again"

They lost Mitchell, Johnson, Mathiang, Hicks, Henderson, and Stockman.
"We're not losing anyone" - Rick Pitino

LOL oh just a top 20 team... Their line beard drunken fans must be really pissed to go from a top 3 team to a top 20 team with the added gut punch that their coach is ok with only being a top 20 team.
