Pitino

I hate Rick but maybe that will get some folks going at SHU to field $ a better team next year. Classless statement by Pitino but probably some truth there.
 
He’s 100% right. We have no money bc the leadership of the school is terrible on this topic and has been for 3 years.

Everybody and their brother says it in the media and look at the freaking team.
Nil and transfer bs was going to kill seton hall basketball. That was obvious and it is here already. We got very bad quickly. Should have better coaching too but talent is bad.
 
Pitino kicked our ass on the court and then immediately belittled us in the media. He’s probably texting Coleman right now. Savage.
1. If you think he is texting anyone you’re crazy

2. If you don’t think multiple d-1 teams text Coleman daily you’re crazy

3. If you think we are not texting kids you’re crazy (we just can’t pay them)

4. He could care less about us at all..he likes sha and is a coaches coach and has a platform to present an inside view to take heat off of the coach

Simple
 
Boys he is right. But why are they in a different position? Because the Vitamin Water guy opened his checkbook wide. We don’t have that. Creighton has it. Nova has it. UConn has it. Now if we could get 1000 alums to give $5k each year we’d be in business. So who’s in for that?

He didn't belittle us. What he did was say something nice about another head coach, and one who I'm sure he likes and who he has a relationship with because of Willard (not to mention Davis, who got his start in basketball via Pitino). He publicly said something to support Sha, whether it's true or not.

Exactly. He knows people pay attention when he speaks, and so he was supporting Sha in a public way.

And not only is he not texting Coleman, but no one on his staff is after the last few games. Coleman didn't exactly inspire confidence with his play tonight.

What? Yeah the first part was generous towards Shaheen. The rest was a complete insult to SHU. And at this point the 2nd part of his quote is all that matters and he knows recruits will see it.

Pitino says Seton Hall is broke, why am I gonna bother with them. Read between the lines

He also develop Body Armor and sold that for hundreds of millions.

Isn’t the Crowd Strike guy a SHU alumni? Who’s reaching out to him?

Recruits are going to know who has what by way of NIL. As will their advisors, parents, agents, etc. It's all speculation for us, but those involved in the process know the situation for the school's they are dealing with and schools generally. He didn't have to say anything. The sole reason he did was because he knows Sha is miserable right now and he's trying to support a young coach he likes and has a relationship with. As another poster said, like him or not, he's a coaches coach and from a generation where BE coaches tried to kill each other on the court and in recruiting battles and then supported each other off the court and against everybody else.
 
The program lost it coach and then it’s best players in each of the past 3 offseasons. The school sat on their hands doubting NIL while other programs were preparing. Here we are.

Pitino’s great. He’ll say this to help Shaheen after he takes his player. Bottom line is none of it matters, have money or get played.

I see it as an advertisement to recruits that seton hall is broke. Don’t waste your time with them.

You said it’s speculation. How big of a speculation can it be when an opposing coach who is new to the conference can make a statement like that?

We must be in much much worse position than even reported here.

And it makes sense based on the D-3 level roster we have now

We don't have a D-3 level roster. We have some talented kids that haven't worked out (and may not ever), and others where the staff clearly misjudged the talent.

That’s an insult to D-3 rosters nationwide.
 
Johnnie’s are very lucky that Repole instead of buying a horse one day decided heck I’ll just buy a player…. That’s cool.
 
some people on this board are really going to HATE this comment, considering it makes them look like a fool for their comments the entire year.

this should put this to BED that dre and richmond left because they don't like sha. guess those big time sources came up short! LOL.

sad state of affairs in ncaa. this is exactly what we saw coming

this is an alltime spin zone. you have no sources. rick pitino is the real deal source. calls it like it is. are you really going to argue that we have funds? his comment is the simple answer.

lmao "simple"
 
The guy walk into our building, destroys us with our best player, and laughs about how much of a joke our NIL is compared to our peers. If that doesn’t motivate the powers that be, nothing will.
The powers that be would be thrilled if we moved down to D-2 or D-3 and ended the charade

I appreciated his comments, the motivations behind them aside. It was the honest truth.

I even see some Johnnies fans a little taken aback. Some of their fans are funny. I think some of them actually deluded themselves into Kadary left for St. John's because they are ST. JOHN'S, a historic program with a HoF coach and they play at THE GARDEN, and Seton Hall is none of those things, when in reality he left because of the money.

I truly don't think the real powers that be care about our athletic program or it's success and never have. The fact that money is now required only makes the situation more publicly visible and worse.
