Yes, the late start hurt Brannen. But he whiffed on quite a few guys. McNeal and Sorolla are/were just bad. Vogt and Jaevin can't play defense or rebound. |

Once everyone did leave, which I guess is his fault, even though, half the players are doing virtually nothing, I’d love to hear about the better options that were available in June. Keep longing for the guys that haven’t done anything this year. |

UNC was a top 6 team in them. Thats the standard I guess. Cronin failed to recruit guys to play at this level after Jarrons class. Moore? No. Hardnett? No. Logan? No. Fredericks? No. Diarra? No (using your standards). Curtis couldn't even get PT on a 7-22 Nebraska team so he left there too. I know you don't really like living in reality (Diarra nba prospect and better than Vogt, Keith gonna leave early for nba and so on) but you really should try it. |

LoJo - a guard who can defend and rebound, he averaged more rebounds in conference per 40 minutes than Vogt does this year. Frederick's rebounds/40 minutes was higher than everyone on this years team but Scott and Diarra. Nsoseme was excellent at rebounding and a solid defender as well. Brannen replaced them with 3 guys (Vogt, Sorolla, Jaevin) who can't defend or rebound and one guy (McNeal) who makes LoJo look like a great offensive guard. Despite Brannen's focus on getting more offensive players, our offense is ranked 27 points lower than last years in kenpom and is our worst ranked kenpom offense since 2016. Vogt has a worse ORTG and DRTG than Diarra in conference. Vogt is just not a good player. At least Diarra has potential to become great. Vogt has potential to go down as the worst starting center at UC in the last 20 years. |

Cronin found ways to maximize his rest. We'd run the offensive sets where Jarron would stand at half court and we'd play 4v4. Had somebody else bring the ball up. The zone helped reduces how much Jarron needed to run on defense. And all the other players still played defense and rebounded at a high level. |

lets take a look at the players who left on there own or were forced out.....
Nysier Brooks - sitting all year, would have loved to have him this year, we really miss his presence in the paint as a shot blocker. His transfer to Miami is still a head scratcher, but he knows what best for himself so I wish him the best next year. Miami is a very average ACC team. Lojo - Don't think he was "forced out" at all, he had some family issues and may have transferred even if Cronin stayed. Avereged 6.9 mpg last year and is only averages 7.3 mpg with St Marys. He is hardly not replicable and his stats prove that. Laquill Hardnett- I would take a top 50 recruit in Zach Harvey over Harnett any day, a lot of you were mad at how Mick didn't go after top ranked guys and then Brannen has a chance to get one and he did and then all of a sudden people are mad we signed Zach and let Laquill leave. No offense to Laquill but he is hardly lighting it up in the MAC with Buffalo. His best offer of out high school was UC and it wasn't even close. Theres a reason for that. Trevor Moore- the so called best "shooter" Mick ever recruited. He was a great hype guy and that's about it. He was brought here to shoot and he shot 26%and was an average defender. Rashawn Fredericks- Was most likey transferring anyway even if Cronin stayed, you watch him play last year, I will leave it at that. Nsoseme- A bull in a china shop, played with a lot of energy and good rebounder which we need right now, no offense to speak of. I wouldn't have minded if he stayed due to Vogt's inability to rebound and at times defend. And Finally Mr Ohio Basketball himself, Samari Curtis- Now on his 4th school in a year. Didn't play for a 7-22 Nebraska team and now is at Evansville who hasn't won a game in 2020. Who the hell knows what he would of done here, but I wish him the best. Also don't lump Jaevin in as a Brannen guy, most of you were salivating for him when Mick was the coach... Sorolla, McNeal were terrible late pick ups but the 3 freshman look promising with an exciting class coming in. |
