With the ability to recruit as a P5 member maybe quite a bit or more of the same.

Their fans are delusional. They have a good history but think they should be on the level of Duke and UNC. Last time around, I remember reading their message boards and a lot of them were convinced they should be able to pull Billy Donavan from Florida.

He's close to the situation. It's probably not just random speculation. It's not a secret that he's interested in Ohio State and there is a chance Matta resigns because of his back issues.

Like when we were in the big east, arguably the best bb conference at the time. I don't think conference affiliation helped mick that much.

Edit: I'm not saying he hasnt been progressing or having a good year. Just that he wasn't being in the five stars when we were in a major conference.

We made it to the conference title game. We also landed a 5 star. Conference matters.

He was mentioned as someone NCST would contact in the article I read. It also said he would probably hold out for TOSU.

Gotcha. I base my opinion off comments Chad made on here awhile back.

You worry too much about P5 + BE in regards to college basketball. How has P5 worked out for the programs at LSU, Boston College, Colorado, Rutgers TCU, and Depaul? Would any coach take a position at those schools over UC? The answer is no. Simply put, these schools would take to long to turn around before they get fired.

Coaches look for positions where they will have the chance to succeed, and thankfully UC is one of the better positioned universities to provide that. New arena, established brand, consistent performance, a large fan base, and most importantly, reasonable expectations.

This is exactly why the NCST job isn't all that great.

While overall the situation may look better in regards to conference and history. If it isn't realistic to achieve the goals of the fans, you are going to be fired in 4-5 years min.

You couldn't be more wrong. P5 affiliation is huge. But your certainly entitled to your opinion. Have a nice day.

I gave you 6 teams. Please explain to me how any of those P5 + BE are a better job than Cincinnati.

If you are going to make claims, back it up.
