You'd like to think that conference affiliation doesn't make that much difference in perception (especially since the Bearcats at the ones in the AAC ), but it does. You can succeed without it, Gonzaga, but it surely helps a bunch. Mick started with very little and built them into a competitive program in one of the country's toughest conferences. Gotta be tough leaving that for their current league. I like CJB's attitude and look forward to seeing what he accomplishes here. For him, the AAC is huge step up and not a hindrance to success (Mick's attitude - my opinion). Given the situation, CJB hit a home run out of the gate. Hopefully not too much to ask, but some Brad Stevens-esque success would be fantastic.

ESPN stats has UC listed in order from 1st season of aac to the last 9th 10th 6th 1st 3rd and 8th aac team ppg he's straight up lying is what he's doing once is hardly every year. If I had to guess I'd say they never finished top 2 in big east in scoring.

His best team was the one from 17/18 season though. That was four years after big east. Recruiting rankings are overrated. Take out kilpatrick and Lance and the five other best players from Cronin era in my opinion were on that team. Evans, Cumberland, Clark, Washington, and Caupain

Mick just didn't recruit players he couldn't be their daddy. Outside of Broome and mick didn't like him to well, which player had a daddy around program? One way or another most top 100 have some type of male figure around(mick called them handlers) them more than Mick liked. Lol, think about it mainly all Mick's pets had their mom's with closest relationship to coach.
