Iona just get a commitment from Osborn Shema, a 7-foot-1 big man. Dicky V. is stating he's a 4 star recruit , Iona doesn't need Haarms. Wow, they are stepping it up at Iona, time for Siena to keep up. 7'1", Attempted almost twice as many 3's as he did free throws, shot 30% from 3. DPOY in his JUCO conference and averaged 10 pts/8 rebounds/3 blocks a game. Nice piece but a 4 star recruit?

I think Dicky V. is giving he friend some attention. However the Iona faithful think any recruit Pitino gets is better than the 2 stars they all have.

Carm won with someone else's guys and still has the bulk of his main guys from others. Winning the Maac will automatically give any recruit a slight bump for choosing Siena without ever seeing the court.

well ITF, the first thing we should do is find someone like P. Carm's value system is much too Christian for him to succeed. I just love the way some of you applaud Iona's success to be. When will you start rooting for them.

Pitino's recruits seem to be overhyped by media types as well. That said, Pitino is collecting a bunch of interesting prospects. I have no doubt that if he remains at Iona he will build a winner. I do doubt that it will happen in year one when he is recruiting so many kids without ever actually meeting them. Hard to build chemistry with no off season and with so many new faces joining the team.

You guys are whistling past the graveyard. The NCAA is going to do anything to Pitino, maybe a few games suspension and a small fine. What happened to Boeheim, not much, Calipari, Sutton? They punish the assistants and give the head guy a slap on the wrist. And Pitino is not going anywhere. He doesn't have to prove that he can win in the majors, he already has done that. Now he has a chance to show that he can elevate a mid-major to be a a counterpart to Gonzaga (like he said). Iona clearly is going to be a force to be reckoned with and unless Siena gets its act together Iona will be looking at Siena in the rearview mirror. Hum, don’t be so quick to jump to that conclusion. Sure the NCAA hasn’t been harsh on some violators but they have levied 3 - 5 year show cause orders in the past (Sampson Pearl Ollie come to mind). Have to believe slick Rick’s reputation precedes him & not many buy his plausible deniability act. I highly doubt he’s in good standing with the NCAA, and they just might decide to make an example out of him.... also not many programs historically pull the trigger on a coach who is pending a verdict, Iona has put themselves in an interesting if not precarious position. Why do you think UCLA Alabama Arkansas Rhode Island St Johns UNLV all took as pass? Look for a decision by the fall of ‘21.
