Pitino pushing Swopshire out of the program

[moqui]

The junior will be honored tonight on Senior Night, then transfer in the offseason because Pitino will not renew his 'ship.

Wait...he's only a junior? That dude has been around forever. He's got Kevin Braswell disease.

Robbie Hummel

It's a scientific fact that Hummel has been playing for Purdue since the inception of their basketball program.

You can't argue with science.

I thought he graduated two years ago. I think I remember him in the game Gerry played against them.

He's a redshirt junior, so he's been around 4 years.

I have no problem with what Pitino is doing. The article says that Swopshire is on target to get his degree in May. If Pitino thinks the scholarship can be put to better use, I see no reason why he should feel honor bound to give it to a graduate student who Pitino doesn't feel will help the program.

So Kyle Kuric and Chris Smith are walk-ons.

Andre Drummond is a walk-on.

....are we the only program in the Big East that doesn't start their walk-ons?

Clearly this is the trend that Cali is trying to get in front of when he calls for more minutes for Brandon Reese.
