I happen to think that the decision that Pitino and Goetz made was the right decision.. It gives authorities time to think over what they want to do with the situation after gathering all the facts. I am not sure there was another choice to make, really... I am pulling for the program to do the right thing, whatever that may be, and that those guys make good life choices from here on out. My guess is Pitino, staff, and Goetz love the kids but their job is to protect the program first and reach out to the kids after that.
The one thing I do wonder about is point guard play.. We dont have one for the rest of the year and did not recruit one for 2016....YET........ I am sure that Pitino and staff will be thinking about this immediately if they have not already.. We dont have a ball handler on the horizon... I know they will pick up somebody but I bet they are printing out every list of 5th year transfers and JC PGs in the nation, right now.. I am not saying all 3 or even any of them will leave or get kicked out but the possibility exists.. Lots of decisions to make now.
In the 2017 class, I am guessing McKinley Wright will be looked at much closer as well as any other PGs in state or in the area. This is a scary thing especially with no knowledge of the results of what the authorities will find and implement as punishment, if any..... I can speculate that Dorsey is gone or maybe 2 or all 3 players.. But this is really tough... Yes, Coffey can play guard and he would most likely be someone that will be the ballhandler next year... This is going to be a really interesting time because there is no indication of who will be available or what next year will look like until the end of the year.. In recruiting, timing is everything but it is trumped by how this situation is handled.. May be too late to get a HS pg but I am not sure that is what Pitino would want anyways..Lots of questions that wont have answers any time soon.
