Head coach Rick Pitino is going to have his work cut out for him.
The newly hired St. John’s University coach is no stranger to controversy with his matter-of-fact personality and coaching style.
However, he may be missing the one thing he needs to actually be a coach: the players.

Since Pitino was hired, the University has lost their entire men’s basketball recruiting class.

The Lakers have bigger plans, but LeBron James took time to recognize it was “pretty cool” that the team will finish the regular season with a winning record after starting 2-10 and enduring plenty of bumps along the way.

Free agent veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has interest from several teams, including from the Lions who have made him a “strong contract offer,” according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
If Bridgewater signs with the Lions, it would reunite him with coach Dan Campbell, who was an assistant in New Orleans when the veteran played for the Saints.

Bad weather in Augusta is making for an interesting start to The Masters.
The Masters nearly made it through two full rounds before weather ultimately suspended play on Friday afternoon.
