Wow. You don't sound thrilled with this hire. Why are you trying to put words on my mouth. I think it is a great hire. But I am concerned about your uber exuberance.

Moose & Maggie gave Iona/Pitino story the first hour of the show this morning. Pitino said that he would recruit 7 or 8 players. They may well be the first 7 or 8 in the rotation when the season starts.

Immediately after the hire RP said he'd bring in six player which was exactly the number of spots available. As of yesterday evening it was 6-7. Now up to eight. I can agine the anxiety among the current player. My heart goes out to them.
He also said he has hired two assistants with two to go.

These guys were brought in by Arnold and the other assistants; it is not uncommon for players to leave a school when the coach who recruited them leaves that school.

I wonder if any of the players that we offered this year that were above the MAAC recruits are now a bit more interested

Again you are putting words in my mouth. The players don't know if their scholarships are being renewed. That's where the anxiety is coming in. Have no idea why you are debating me on every post. Did I hurt your feelings somewhere along the way?

Player anxiety is natural. I think you are being personally too sensitive. Any of us who have gone through a corporate merger or who have had a new boss knows that emotion. The issue leading to that anxiety is neither "worst" or "best."

Don’t think any player has said that,anyone not on next years roster will not be making the decision, he can bring in 7 and keep 6 if he chooses.
