In The Jungle... / 4-Star Recruit '24 Rakease Passmore

« Last post by SM1987 on July 13, 2023, 04:11:23 PM »

Coach Pitino extended an offer to 4-star SG Rakease Passmore out of Combine Academy (NC) back in April. Passmore was a standout at the Pangos All-American camp and one of the most efficient scorers during this past week’s Nike Peach Jam. A truly upper echelon athlete. You can read up on what he brings to the floor in this extensive report, equipped with nearly 80 film clips:

Not I. I've never had season tix. I go to my 5 to 10 games a year and that's the best I can do.

How many of you are getting season tickets this season? I know I am. First year in a while where I think the program is in good hands.

Turns out Zuby may very well not be the last piece of the Johnnies’s 2023 class nor of the roster. Looks like we are trying to go with a 14th player in 4 star G decommit from N Carolina Simeon Wilcher from Roselle Catholic in NJ.  Visited on Thursday and he and his father spent 2 hours visiting with Lou Carnesecca. Guess Pitino wanted to appear as still a young coach.

Turns out Wilcher may not be last piece either. Seems we are after a 15 roster player in a Euro big which would shore up our only seeming weak spot-lack of depth in the bigs department.

The Pitino effect in full force. Nice get for the Redmen. They are going to be exciting to watch this year. I think at least NCAA Round of 32 is possible and a finalist in Big East. It is going to now depend on the talented players having good chemistry on the floor.

"He laid out qualities St. John’s needed to look for in recruits: high-character." Thanks Braziller, you hack.

Rick Pitino is not a high character anything, he's a tortured little dwarf narcissistic POS who's been cheating at BB since the 70s at the University of Hawaii and probably at everything else since before that. Is he a great coach? Absolutely. Is SJU lucky to have him? Absolutely. Am I going to pretend that he's interested in anything other than the legend of Rick Pitino? No, no I'm not.
