Severely overrated

So they praise him because he won 18 games in his only year at FIU and because he is young?

lol, what does vacating wins do? Are you going to retroactively erase the memories of what actually happened? All it does is remove it from a piece of paper but the memories of it to everyone will always be there. It's what I'd call a "meaningless punishment" as an attempt to look like they...

The sad reality of it all is that no punishment takes away from all the memories. It's why things like vacating wins, titles, etc is pretty much useless. Ya it may severely limit them for a few years but with their tradition they'll quickly bounce back

Idk why some people think it's some slight if others think Oturu might not be anything then a good bench player or something like that. He'll more likely then not contribute in someway to an NBA team and that should be considered a success. Doesn't matter if he ends up a starter (I personally...

Pitino get's more excuses then any other coach I can imagine. He doesn't produce wins, can't keep local kids home (everyone can't is the excuse given for that) and when he does have a "high ranking" draft class people use that as another excuse yet it never materializes into wins. As a coach...

Since Pitino gets such praise for recruiting maybe he should be held to the same standard when it comes to wins and getting to the NCAA tournament.

Hope more kids do this. The NCAA needs to either die or be seriously revamped.

What in the absolute hell are you talking about?

Fire his ass. Not firing a known loser because a player says he will play 1 more season? How is that even a question?

I'm a Gophers fan over a coach fan. Pitino has had his chance and simply isn't up to the task. He shouldn't get sympathy because he seemingly is a tremendous person. He is a bad coach and needs to og.

You hire him the absolute first chance you can (that is assuming he would come here)

Whatever your opinion of Kenpom is, last year the Gophers had an adjustedO of 111.4 and this year it's 109.5

Based on the last 7 years why on Earth would have Pitino earned an 8th? At this point it's painfully obvious that Pitino is a lame duck and we will never go anywhere with the guy. Our next head coach could be worse but Pitino just isn't the guy and that is 100% clear. Time to move on.

I'm a huge Oturu fan but nbadraft.net is a joke of a website. Wait until other more reputable sites start doing their rankings. I do believe Oturu will end up a lottery pick but nbadraft.net is pure trash and always has been.
