""One thing I can tell you is, there's no difference," Pitino said. "I told the team this the other day, when I coached, there were one or two guys on the team that could be knuckleheads on every team. This is like 15 sweethearts and really great guys. But, I told them, 'You're the most unfocused generation I've ever seen,'""
"'I said, 'I guarantee you guys cannot read through three chapters in a book without looking at your phone.' And they all shook their heads and said, 'Yes.' Scouting is about being meticulous with detail, whether it's pro or college and you gotta focus on scouting. This is a great group to coach. Really excited about them, I can't tell you who the best player is on the team,'"
Rick Pitino led No. 13 St. John's to a 93-60 win over William & Mary, improving the team to 2-1 and bouncing back from a loss to Alabama. Heavy recruiting via the transfer portal aimed to repeat last season's outright Big East title. The roster includes Ian Jackson, Zuby Ejiofor, Bruce Hopkins, Dylan Darling, and Oziyah Sellers. The players show strong temperament and character, described as '15 sweethearts,' while also displaying a generational lack of focus and frequent phone use during reading. Pre-game concern about William & Mary's three-point shooting produced a close halftime score before St. John's pulled away.
