I’ve always said, Cronins teams will always be decent. That was never the issue. The issue was taking the next step and trying to win in the tourney with that kind of talent. It’s almost impossible when half your roster can’t even play. Can’t believe people wanted that same roster to return.

Hardnett was a redshirt. Mick doesn’t just redshirt guys. He thinks they have something
Logan was a great lockdown defender in multiple games Elie would be the best rebounder in the conference. He could defend and rebound like mad. He helped in multiple games And who knows about Samari who always wanted to play local, and had to go to Nebraska instead. He limited his own recruitment for a long time Fredericks was always intended to just be a filler piece when jake left. I mean the reality is mick won the conference championship (which is the conference tourney) and made the tourney with a 5’10 3 star pg, a 2star NEC transfer, a 3 star red shirt big, a 3 star 2 year spot minute center, a low level 4 star Keith Williams, and then Jarron Cumberland. Mick made believe that he can coach pretty damn good if your able to mine diamonds from that lump of coal. And what do you know... he’s turning UCLA around culturally as well. They just punked out #20 Colorado on the boards and beat them to go 500 in conference. I’m not mad he’s gone. But someone of you act like Cronin era was an oppressive losing regime. It wasn’t. The toughness he made dudes play with was some thing to be proud of. I love almost all the former guys he had in too. Including the one that is the reason why were just outside of first place |

Maybe learning a new system is hard for every player. Last edited by justinhub2003; 01-31-2020 at 09:20 AM. |

Agree. I think it take years for coaches to truly instill their system. With recruits and philosophy. I also understand sometimes schools can’t give coaches that much time.

if jarron was healthy all offseason no doubt in my mind he's ready in brannens system in november. before january Cumberland couldn't even take slow white guys to the rim. now he can't be guarded. |

Seems like your trying to stir something up that isn’t there. Reason I posted: woke up, checked my email, and I see a notification from the former Bearcats thread. Decided to chime in. I don’t care that mick won. Though I do believe he will be successful at UCLA. |
