As for the 6-7 Luis, Pitino has long been high on his pro potential. He’s averaging 17.5 points and 6.4 rebounds while shooting 45% from the field and 24% from deep. Pitino said he recently brought out an hourglass during a film session and turned it over told the team: “That’s how quick this next six weeks are going to go for you, and then your career is over. Six of you in this room that you’re leaving St John’s, and every player I’ve ever coached that’s had great success, from Kentucky, Louisville, even going back to Providence, a long time ago, they said if I could just have one more year back in college, even though they made the pros.
