Did they actually talk about UC/Cronin or are you just saying because 2 former UC players were on the team?

Gary is gonna be one of those guys with a 10+ year career and people won't understand how he did it.



He's just good at everything. He always makes the right play.



The guy is getting full articles on ESPN written about him. Who saw that coming 2 months ago.

Mick should play the clip from the game for future recruits. It was said that, Clark is NBA ready because of playing for Cronin and his Bearcats defense. That is great pub. Rarely do you hear NBA announcers mention college coaches and when they do, it is a short list.

As a guy who grew up watching Oscar play it was still easy for me to come to this conclusion. Gary Clark is my all time favorite Bearcat.

Yup, he surpassed Kenyon by his junior season for me. Just the absolute epitome of what I want as a Bearcat. Does everything the right way and worked his tail off to get where he's at.
Having said that, I really want his jersey retired. Any chance that'll happen?

If it was up to me it would happen tonight.

A major reason that Clark is NBA ready and playing like a vet is he stayed for 4 years. I doubt many recruits want to hear that you have to stay in school for 4 years, they want to bolt after 2-3 max.

The NBA is desperate for defenders right now. Teams are more specifically desperate for smart defenders that understand how to play in a shifting defense. Which Cronin just so happens to be an expert at teaching. It isn’t a sexy thing to preach during recruiting but if the NBA needs defenders....we can produce them.
