The more I think about it the more I like John Brennan, I’ll take my chances with him.

I concur. The more I study and listen to him he just screams a slam dunk hire next to Pitino. He's got it all. I believe he will make us forget Cronin quick, fast, and in a hurry. He's got the "it" factor and is poised to break out in a big way it seems. I'm not worried about him recruiting, parents and kids see him in their living room they will light up. Complete opposite of Mick in every way. I want to play for him lol. And recruits will love his style of play/coaching and to be a part of that system. John Brannen is kinda like a John Beilein 2.0 to me the more I think about him...same demeanor, approach and style of play. If that is the case then boy are we in for a treat if we get him. People's thoughts on the comparison to Beilein?

Would love to have Pitino, but if we can't pay little Napoleon, we won't be able to pay a HOF coach.

Napoleon had a great offense. Find another short guy.

I was listening to the radio when Terry said this. He immediately added that he assumed it was to recommend his son Richard for the job.

All this based on what exactly?

Recruiting is done on sidelines, hallways and locker rooms of elite aau tournaments. You need a "FACE" at these games. This isn't the 80s living room recruiting at the same no more. Pitino walk in gym with two tall ex NBA players on his wing we instantly become top 10 destination
