We got a 70 year coach that got accused of rape lol...No for real that hurt us the whole karen sypher lies really hurt the recruiting.. and . Oh and tubbys last years were not very good either

Karen Sypher lies? Pitino had an affair with her, knocked her up, paid for an abortion. Those are truths.

The Sypher incident itself didn't hurt recruiting so much, it was Pitino disappearing for 6 months in the wake of it, coupled with the uncertainty of his job. That hurt recruiting.

I pointed it out in another thread, but that 6 month hiatus directly resulted in the door opening for Teague to see Cal hired at UK, for Fab Melo to go from an UL lock to a Cuse commit, for Jeremy Tyler to opt instead to play in Europe, and for the UL season to be handicapped from the start with distractions that ultimately affected their final outcome and thus effectivng recruiting.
