Please excuse my notes, I don't have my computer, so these are being posted from my phone. Lots of honest answers from Pitino:
The goal today is to see how they communicate with each other, we're sure it's going to be a disaster.
We are going to play 8 minute halves, I want to see if anyone separates themselves as leaders.
Malik smith is the only one that knows how to play for me
Adversity hasn't hit these guys, they aren't going to class yet.
Malik will give you a feel for what kind of coach I am.
We have had 5 practices, going up and down as much as possible. Getting them to play through mistakes.
Mo Walker- He's lost 45-50 lbs, he deserves the credit, I have him the ultimatum and he did it.
I don't think Mo Walker could play in any system at that weight, not just mine.
On eligibility- Hopefully we'll know Malik soon, Joey...I don't think we've filed that yet.
I told Mo you need to lose weight or you won't play.
Mo walker is probably my the best passer on the team, that surprised me.
We've got a scholarship available, recruiting is the key to turn this thing around.
Austin is more a leader by example, he does everything the right way on and off the court.
Malik could be that rah rah kind of guy.
Austin is a really good player, we are gonna to rely on him a lot.
Starting point guard is open for competition, I'd be shocked if Andre doesn't start though
The biggest surprise is the amount of fan interest here in Minnesota.
We are going to try to get the chemistry accomplished, and the way you are going to run things
Charles Buggs will do things where you say he has pro potential, or what is he doing? He has the most upside. He's pur on 16-17 pounds this year.
I've never heard of a scholarship athlete go abroad. You walk into Csom and Andre has his picture on the wall
On being so Honest- its the way I was raised, what I learned under my father and billy Donovan
Recruiting -it's been good, a lot of the situations are, we have been great
I won't pick a starting 5 today.
