About Pitino, he says "...he gets players to the next level." This got me thinking, we've been hearing recruits say this about Pitino since the old days, but how long has it been since it was really true? Going straight off the top of my head, I'd guess Antoine's had the best career out of them all, but didn't he leave school about 12 years ago? I don't want to rag on any individual players, but do y'all think RP really deserves this reputation as a developer of NBA players? It seems I can remember as many NBA disappointments as success stories.</p>
