Brannen is going to have a similar problem in year one (he will likely have a less talented team). If he matches Cronin's final year performance, that would be a very encouraging sign. |

are our fans aware our last couple classes include trevor moore, eliel nsoseme, and laquill hardnett? and we are really upset about a couple names of guys brannen is recruiting? Trevor Moore 340 Eliel Nsoseme 471 LaQuill Hardnett 264 Marcus Domask 414 seems to fit right in to me. |

In the case of Brannen, I'm in no way pinning this on him and I'm still happy with the hire, but a coaching staff would sure be nice at this point... |

Marcus Domask looks like a worse version of Trevor Moore coming out of high school. A shorter, less athletic pure shooter. |

I hope our top tier guys can still do a bit of both. After 30 years of seeing a lot of athletes come through...I am sure I will find myself saying "that guy can't defend at a high level though". It's going to be strange and uneasy. But watching balls go through the hoop will help ease the anxiety. |

I doubt he is being recruited as an impact player right now but a guy who could work his way into the lineup down the road if we offer at all. We can't put it all on 2020 we have to keep some balance in classes otherwise I would say wait. But it's starting to look like we are going to have at least 4 open spots and maybe 5 depending on Cumberland. Assuming Johnson stays. If Brannen sees value down the road...then I will have to trust his call. I don't see much harm in recruiting for bench depth right now. We aren't going to have a roster of 13 four star guys. |

you realize tons of players on in the mcdonalds all-american discussion right? "Today, McDonald’s is supporting the next generation of basketball talent by unveiling the list of more than 800 top male and female high school basketball players from across the country nominated for the prestigious chance to play in the 42nd annual McDonald’s All American Games." samari COULD turn out to be great. but we often times tell ourselves a guy was better than his ranking, or a late bloomer, or w/e it is to make us feel better about our guys. and the rankings can get it way wrong. caupain was 212 and our 4th best rated player in that class. it was clear from day 1 he was actually the best player in that class. my point was more of he's still top 150, not a top 20 and he was the only guy we had. he backed out on xavier too, but they had 3 guys rated higher than him in that same class and one right behind him at 152. |
