Patino hasn't done much at Louisville?! :rolleyes: Just moved up in confrences and made the final 4 in 3 years! As far as recruiting Loften; he had guards he needed big men.

In 6 years at Louisville, yes a final 4 .... but also 3 visits to the NIT. He would be scalped and run out of town in Lexington after the 1st NIT. Yes Pitino was great for KY during the 90's, but I don't think he would be the instant answer some are looking for. Expectations are unrealistic IMHO.

Look what he started with. He has proven over and over that he is a winner. Anyone needs time to establish themself. Tubby was lucky enough to inherit a national championship team from Patino. Patino wasn't that lucky at UL.

Pitino must be able to recruit he started several freshman this year it took them a few games to get things going but turned out to be a good team. Edgar Sosa is awesome as well as Character,Smith and Farley if he has a good recruiting class this year they will be hard to beat. I hope Pitino stays at Lousiville. I have never heard that Lofton or Brewer wanted to go to UL.

84 whas out of louisville reported that billy donavan family was in lexington this past weekend, ????

Florida will always be a football school. Donovan will always play second fiddle there....he could come to Kentucky and be the man so to speak. It will be interesting to see if he makes the move or not. Whoever takes the position will have a tough first year with what Tubby left them with. Unless the new coach brings some recruits with him....

I like the fact that Several of Billy the Kid's recruits say, "We'll go wherever he goes". With Morris leaving, which by the way i commend and do not blame him whatsoever, and the possibility of Jodie Meeks leaving, next years team has the potential to be very thin. Whoever comes here will basically have the key to the city, and a 30 million dollar practice facility. Plus enough pressure to perform to last a lifetime.

What's this about Jodie leaving? I haven't heard that. Sure hate to see him go he was the bright spot on the team this past season.
