What now?

Goldpanner · 12-17-2019, 12:36 AM

Hello everyone

I have been watching this board for quite a while, and thought it was time for me to give my two cents worth. I have been a fan since tony Yates, so I’ve Been around the block a few times. I liked Cronin, but he is gone now. When coaches leave, so do a portion of the team, that is normal. New coaches come in and typically struggle for a few years, yes there are situations where some don’t, but the norm is they do. I see a lot about voght on this board, brooks is gone, what would it be like without voght on this team? Big men almost always peak in their senior year, he is a junior, and has progressed impressively from last year. There is a lot of talk on here about the freshmen that Brannon recruited. How many freshman come in and dominate on a established system? Almost none. As for jarron’s rough start, I think it is a combination of injury and his attitude that he is the chosen one. Maybe his feelings got hurt when the NBA told him “not yet” , but he has to get his attitude right to have a chance to play at his level.

It’s going to be a rocky few years, but give these young players and new coach a chance.

I remember Cronin had a lot of critics when he came in saying he got hired because of local ties.

Be a fan. Root for the team in thick and thin. And hope Brannen is as good as a lot of people think he is.

There I feel better. Lol. I may be wrong, but I am a fan through thick and thin. Hoping for good times again. Time will tell. Go Bearcats

Solid post.... Did you actually pan for gold? If so... Did you find any.

Biggest moment for me for John Brannen will be December 21st when Tari Eason picks his school.

Program needs a boost and that would be a nice one. I'm pretty much writing off this team doing anything this season until conference tournament where we hope for a run.

I want to see the progress made during this year Xavier saw last year. Xavier was really bad before January last year and ended up playing really well down the stretch, we need that.

We need a win tonight, we should be able play a close gane at home. The team just isn't very good. We were good last yr just couldn't keep a roster together. Vogt will be nothing by his senior yr hes barely anything now who else are we gonna give mins to? Ive never seen a 6 and 4 start and to think about who we are struggling against, man... John Brannen has a lot to prove, Cumberland been money since he got here but ofcourse everyone comes down on the kid when the coach choked his last time out being concerned about a colegate set defense?.. Kinda ironic coming from the fast paced offensivd guru, couldn't even draw us up a play... Im agitated with this team, the University and this fanbase for giving this weak bs a chance. If you knew better youd do better
