SIAP Pitino says "college basketball is at its zenith"

[SandyBell'sFaxMachine]

Because of all the talent, and specifically credits all the European players coming to college now.

I agree, wish pope could capitalize on it

 

[I’m The Village Idiot]

I’ve been saying this. Both the eye test and metrics back it up.

 

[Johnnie Africa]

It’s more talented than it’s been in decades with players staying. Probably the most talented it’s been since the 90s.

Give him a fair chance, and some time

What do you expect the 73 year-old St. John’s coach to say?

From the perspective of “how good the players are at the actual game” then yes. In literally any other way, then no.

Pitino is the king of hyperbole. It’s not close to the 1990’s, but it’s in a good spot talent wise because of Europe and NIl.

This!

I miss the old days. Back when you recruited players who stayed four years and felt a scholarship was a bargain trade for a free college education, room and board, and the adoration of an entire state.

Yes, I understand times change. But I'm being dragged kicking and screaming into this fiasco of a future.

Hyperbole has always been a Pitino thing
