Capable 6'10" guys aren't exactly a dime a dozen either.

Just my opinion.
What happened the last time we got a top 25 recruit?? What others have been remotely close that we have landed?

not a very practicle approach. A Huge factor in recruiting is immediate playing time. Stacking recruits at one position doesn't lend itself to that.

I agree with you and this philosophy has worked pretty well for the Bengals these past couple draft classes. I thought they were crazy for drafting a running back so high when we had Gio Bernard, but it really worked out. I would take the top 50 player, but where it stands right now we would have Gary Clark playing out of position. Ina perfect world Mick lands a top 50 center and the other 4 will be best available

I'd bet some money that we get another juco big in the 2016 class. It's worked with rubles Ellis and even deberry

This was posted by Jack about Mick's radio show in a thread that got closed

I only heard bits and pieces but the two things that jumped out to me were:

1) Said that there isnt anything he can say about the UCONN game that wont get him fined or suspended.

2) Said he wants to add a big piece in recruiting to next year's team to go on a really deep run. in a thread that got locked for other reasons:



On the second point about adding a "big piece" is that just stating a want or can more be read into it as Mick might be feeling good about a commitment or transfer coming the Cat's way?

Sure hope it's foreshadowing... I don't care if it's a big time transfer, JUCO player or HS recruit. Next year is our season to make a deep run. If it is a transfer I hope he is elligible to play immediately (Graduate transfer or whatever)

There is just so much movement after the tournament that big time players always become available. Just have to convince them to come to UC. I dont see any juco being the answer. A guy like Sterling Gibbs would be interesting if he chose to leave Seton Hall. I believe he will graduate this year. Then with all the coaches being fired recruits are let out of their NLOI and the feeding frenzy is on. Im sure there are a few Mick has in mind.

Dominic Woodson could be in play. Haven't heard anything but we were involved with him out of HS and he is transferring again.
