MN Daily: Pitino set to follow role models’ paths

[BleedGopher]

per the Daily:

“[Pitino] has a gift,” Shyatt said. “Whether you’re young or old, that doesn’t matter. He has a gift to develop relationships and trust that very few of us have.”

Robbinsdale-Cooper High School coach Steve Burton leads one of Minnesota’s most touted 2014 recruits in Rashad Vaughn. Burton said youth might help the Gophers net the budding star.

“Maybe from Rashad’s point of view, having somebody younger reach out might help,” Burton said. “I remember getting my first job at 26; people weren’t sure I should be coaching either.”

As someone who reads the daily on the daily out of shear boredom. My jaw is on the floor that a quote coming out of this joke of a newspaper is actually positive toward Gopher basketball.

Another sign that firing Tubby and hiring Pitino was a boon to our Big 3 chances.
