Steve Logan maybe? Not sure.

It was a different time. The last 5-6 years of Cronin era, all the 5 stars were going to basically 4 schools.

All I want is multiple top 100 guys on the team most years. Maybe 3-4. Seems like Cronin could only do that once. The Gary, Kyle, Jacob, Jarron year

Right! I could be wrong, but through Mick's entire tenure, I don't think he every signed a pure PG.

All 2 Guard converts to only have the "Title" of PG, but not a pure point ever. Mick ran the offense, what other reason was the players looking to the sidelines for instructions.

Look at the disconnect in Mick first year with D. Vaughn. Man did his game change from the previous year vs a year of Cronin.

I would think Justin Jennifer was more of a pure point than SG. Totally agree with all the negativity against Mick, just think JJ couldn't possibly be seen as a non pure point l, atleast when recruited.

Your right he was, but as soon as he arrived it was stripped away. His recruiting highlights showed great court vision and getting others invoved while somewhat chubby lol, but the PG was the Head Coach only lol. Never let him run the offense to find a groove. I know the players knew all the offensive sets, so why not let them play to their recruited abilities.

Wingfield - 1 year

Fortson - 3 years
Johnson - 1 year
Satterfield-2 years

Mick's 5* recruits that I remember:

Stephenson - 1 year
Lawrence - ???

Do I have this right and did I forget anyone?

A couple of things to add here. (1) They didn't really have 5*/4*/3* rankings back then, but they did have traditional player rankings through publications like HoopScoop, Street & Smiths and Basketball Times. (2) 5* rankings usually captures players ranked 1-25/low 30s.
