Ed ConroyGUEST
Yeah.
Ed ConroyGUEST
You know, I, I, 'cause then my next stop was, was back to as, as assistant at, uh, Minnesota where I became a- the associate coach and working for, for Richard Pitino.
Ed ConroyGUEST
I think, um You know, it, it, it has been great.
Ed ConroyGUEST
I h- I was very fortunate.
Dan OwenHOST
I looked it up.
Dan OwenHOST
Rob Jeter had been an assistant under Richard Pitino, for those that don't recognize the name, and he goes to Western Illinois, and I remember looking him up at that time, and it's like, this team stinks.
Dan OwenHOST
And kind of predictably, Jeter having had a three-, four-year tenure at Western Illinois, he has moved on to greener pastures now, I think.
Dan OwenHOST
But that is a program that is not well-resourced.
Gary ParrishHOST
And so, like, various college basketball coaches would come to Monday Night Trivia.
Gary ParrishHOST
Like, Richard Pitino was there.
Gary ParrishHOST
Steve Forbes came in.
Gary ParrishHOST
Shaka Smart.
Paul FritschnerHOST
All right, I'm going to flip across here to Xavier.
Paul FritschnerHOST
Year two for Richard Pitino, a lot more NIL investment in this team.
Paul FritschnerHOST
We
Richard SkinnerGUEST
found out how much in a court.
Kevin FarraharHOST
But they've got two guys who are essentially top 75 quality.
Kevin FarraharHOST
So a really good start for Richard Pitino there as well.
Tom HarknessHOST
Two four-star recruits in the past week is pretty impressive stuff for Richard Pitino.
Tom HarknessHOST
He's done a lot of good things on the transfer portal front for Xavier this year, but obviously there's so much value in trying to get things going on the recruiting path at a new school.
Tom HarknessHOST
Kurt, we mentioned a couple of weeks ago, he was taking an official visit there and put spend the paper with the Musketeers fairly recently after that.
Dan KrikorianHOST
I just wanna tack on at the end, the fence thing was really interesting.
Dan KrikorianHOST
We did a breakdown of New Mexico under Richard Pitino a couple years ago with, like, Donovan Dent jumping on the pickup in the pick and roll.
Dan KrikorianHOST
So he's guarding the ball, and as soon as that ball's picked up, they're jumping.
Dan KrikorianHOST
And just the number of steals and deflections they would get just from that on the pickup.
Rob DausterHOST
Now, the...
Rob DausterHOST
Just to play devil's advocate, 'cause I do think that there, this is possible, he was so good playing for Richard Pitino, who was just kinda li- laissez-faire and let him do his thing.
Jeff GoodmanHOST
Yeah.
Jeff GoodmanHOST
Yeah.
Rob DausterHOST
Like, there was, that was never gonna be something that worked, right? Will Wade, in terms of, like, the, the, the style of coaching-
Jeff GoodmanHOST
Yeah
Rob DausterHOST
... like, I think that he's much m- closer to what Richard Pitino is-
Jeff GoodmanHOST
Yeah
Tom HarknessHOST
Brandon Mason Jr, four star prospect in the class of 2027, chose the Musketeers over a final list which included New Mexico, Boise State, Ohio, and Grand Canyon.
Tom HarknessHOST
Kevin, the Musketeers were 15 and 18 under Richard Pitino last year.
Tom HarknessHOST
This is their first recruit of the 2027 cycle.
Tom HarknessHOST
Just wanna get your thoughts on, on this commitment.
Kevin FarraharHOST
This news just broke, so it's, it's new.
Kevin FarraharHOST
But, um, Brandon Mason Jr. is a top 100 kid, 77th for 24/7 Sports.
Kevin FarraharHOST
Um, out of New Mexico, top player in New Mexico, so obviously Richard Pitino's using some of his connections, uh, that he, that he made as the coach at New Mexico there.
Kevin FarraharHOST
He's now at Link Academy.
Kevin FarraharHOST
Not sure when his- Announcement's gonna be but noteworthy that Xavier's in there with, with five good programs.
Tom HarknessHOST
And I'm curious to see what Richard Pitino does with the Xavier team moving forward.
Tom HarknessHOST
Uh, Kevin, we've talked about it, and I know this is only the second episode of the podcast, so I don't think we touched on the Musketeers too much last week, but they're a really interesting group when you consider what they have i- in terms of the transfer portal and what they're bringing back.
Tom HarknessHOST
I, I'm big on Jovan Milosevic.
Tom HarknessHOST
Mike Nwoko, uh, who stopped by a couple of SEC schools, and they really liked Gabriel Pizzatto prior to, uh, the season-ending injury he suffered last off-season.
Tom HarknessHOST
So seems like they kinda got things up and running.
Tom HarknessHOST
It, it feels like it's a pretty seamless transition from Sean Miller to Richard Pitino.
Kevin FarraharHOST
Yeah, Tom, they're...
