Great addition for Pitino. If they aren't going to Kentucky, wouldn't mind one bit to see them going to St. Johns.

When it comes to recruiting, Pitino has a type.

Generally speaking, if you are a Pitino guard, you are probably tough as nails. Guys like Anthony Epps and Taquan Dean immediately come to mind.

If it's a big that Pitino is taking, there's either a ceiling (David Padgett, Gimel Martinez) or he's seen as a project (Nazr Mohammed, Gorgui Dieng, etc.).

Expect Richmond to step in and play a big role in Pitino's revenge tour against UConn and the selection committee. Mark this one down, I think he gets UConn once next year after playing them close twice last season and the dust-up in the conference tournament.
