Cronin did that too in his later years, to be fair. Certainly with the Broome and Washington transfers. Hardly any freshmen though. Cumberland and Quadri are about the only exceptions.

But Cronin signed plenty of guys and then tried to force them to fit into his system. Sometimes it worked, usually it didn't (Quadri). Being willing to sign a guy isn't necessarily a sign of a willingness to adjust. |

Put another way, he cares about the guy doing the shooting and not the location of the shot. To a degree Miller did the same thing (giving the ball to Isiah Miller and letting him work), though not nearly to the same degree as Mick's straight up iso-ball. |

His teams have shot the 3 well in the past. I think sometimes you get guys you think will be able to shoot, and it just doesn't work out. But if you look at guys he's recruited recently, Keyshaun Langley shot 38.7% as a freshman from 3, then 32.2 as a SO, but is at 34.5% in his career. AJ McGinnis shot 33.6% from 3 as a freshman last year on 122 attempts (Mason shot 32.2% on 59 attempts). Jarrett Hensley, who didn't play much and didn't play well when he did, was brought in cause he was a stretch 4 shooter. From 2015-2017 his teams shot at least 36% from 3 as a team. Maybe after that he focused more on the athlete part, but I think he likely understands the importance of having good shooters. He might have had to make some sacrifices being at UNC Greensboro.

And Juzang got that high going nuts in the tournament. He was 15-22 in the final 2 games, and 56.6% for the tournament. Those are crazy insane for college players.
