I had little to no confidence in Brannen bringing in a top 75 player for 2020 PERIOD, yet alone for 2019, after being on the job for less than 3 months.

What tremendous work from Brannen and his staff for making this happen.

After Cumberland leaves, we finally have a player who has a very good chance of becoming "the man" for this program in 2020 (along with Keith), and if not then, then definitely 2021.

A lot of people bought into the idea that we were as could as we could get and thats just how it was.



We haven't played a game yet, but it is nice knowing we have a coach that believes players want to play here and believes he can win a national championship here.

This is a great pick up. I'm excited about players 6 thru 10 or the second rotation. Young offensive minded, littered with scorers.

Projected bench scoring should be up! + Freedom of movement...

UC has become very attractive in regard to recruiting in a short period of time. Thanks new staff, and thank you Memphis.

Cronin was fine. He did good things but he was never the the only one that could succeed at uc. Just like brannen isn’t. There are a lot of great coaches out there at all levels. Just have to find them. We will see if brannen can actually win games now but I don’t think recruiting is going to be a problem.

Several fans thought Brannen was satisfied with Horizon level recruits after he had been on the job for a few weeks. Hell, I think Davenport is going to be solid simply based on Brannen's priority of him. He's got decent skills but his intangibles seem to be a locker room and team chemistry windfall. He dreamed of playing here...and he worked his ass off and now he has the chance!

To think we sign a top 50 guy the same day Forbes publishes an article on Mick and Mick is complaining about coaches saying negative things to recruits about his offense.



UCLA did us such a huge favor. It's unbelievable.

I think he also said his teams were always 1st or 2nd in AAC in scoring every year. I didn't check every year but I saw 3rd, 4th and 7th the last 3 years.

I am guessing he meant efficiency...but that's not what recruits are looking at. Disconnected
