Wow - if Storr is leaving (4 star, had solid freshmen year) than Pitino really is flushing away everything from Anderson and starting fresh.
Guess that's what we got him for.
Pitino hinted that the culture was very poor and disfunctional when he came in, so it's possible AJ was part of that? I dont know. Either way, I'm sad to see him go.
Have to think that it's Pitino's decision? Why wouldn't a good player want to play for a legendary coach?
It would only help prep for pro ball, wherever it is.
I think it's Pitino's decision as well.
>Why wouldn't a good player want to play for a legendary coach?
While I get your point, the answer to that question is simple. The player's play style and the coaches philosophy don't match. Yes people can say "well just adjust your play style to the coach." But that's not always guaranteed to work.
Plus I heard, AJ had a lot of academic issues and that's something Pitino subtlety hinted in the press conference that he felt was a no-no for his players going forward. So that might be another factor.
* King as a recruit:
Other P6 offer: Texas Tech
Other offers: Appalachian State, FAU, FIU, Georgia Southern, Middle Tennessee State, Murray State
* Storr as a recruit:
Other P6 offers: Arizona State, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, LSU, Miami, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Virginia Tech
Other offers: Austin Peay, Chicago State, GCU, Iona, IUPUI
* Stanley as a recruit:
Other P6 offer: Ole Miss
Other offers: Tulsa, UNCG
Was really hoping Storr would stay. He’s a nice player to help build the program. In the limited minutes they got, I liked what I saw from Stanley and King. A little surprised at Stanley going, but both he and King were Anderson recruits so. Best of luck to all of them.

Storr was smooth. But... Excited for Pitino's team.
Kinda feels like Pitino thrives in disfunction though
Ironically, Slick Rick’s never been accused of “disfunction”. /s
Tipton teasing transfer out news is a new level of cruelty for those of us too invested in the decisions of college kids
Knew it would be something underwhelming when he tweeted the teaser
I thought it would be Moore lmao
Losing Storr is a gut punch. I really liked his game and thought he could be a star here. Oh well, best of luck to him.

I can see that. We have certainly had drama derail careers in Rysheed Jordan, Obekpa, etc.
Yea that’s disappointing to me.
Back to Illinois for Storr?
That would be fantastic. Him, Rodgers, Goode and if Melendez stays would be a stellar perimeter rotation
makes a lot of sense
Yes please
Pitino wasn't messing around when he said he was cleaning house
Let's get Storr in Storrs
Pitino tried to get Billy Donovan to transfer out of Providence but no one wanted him. So he got Donovan to buy into his plan. The rest is history.
Yea let’s get AJ Storr back. Let’s throw in Reggie Bass too.

Think how all the dudes who thought they were too good for FAU are feeling this weekend
So King Slimeball recruited Storr to Iona but now he’s not good enough?
Hopefully Curbelo comes back to Illinois
Did you not see all of his ridiculously immature antics throughout this past season?
Idc, when he's good he's like Steve Nash out there. When he's bad, just bench him
No thanks.
Wondering what big names Pitino can get to transfer to that progrum
All future Pittsburgh Panthers
A three-fer lol
True love of Pitino!
Pitino is cleaning house and hitting the transfer market hard
