Don’t think everyone thinks it’s a coaching upgrade. Have heard many say he is a just a mid major coach and actually a downgrade. Whatever the opinions are, we won’t know for years. Even if it’s a great upgrade, going to be hard to win with 6 players, and 1 big guy.

This would be a very VERY big deal if we can make it happen! Out of the 6 players I wanted Brannen to keep the most we ended up with 3 so far. Scott, Williams, and now Cumberland. There is no replacing Brooks right now. Jaevin might be the only player on the board who can help alleviate the loss of Curtis, and Johnson (not to mention Jenifer and Broome) for a single season.

He can handle the ball, he can shoot, and he can score. He solves 3 problems in 1 player. He probably brings us from bubble team to top 25.

If we can get Jaevin that would be great for the short term.

Mika Adams Woods is on campus right now on his last official visit, so if they can get him and a big guy who can play right now they will be fine for this year.

You wont replace Brooks with one guy so hopefully collectively Prince, Tre, Laquill and Diarra can. Then I guess I would take that Valpo grad transfer as a body to put in there and block shots. (couldn't care less if he comes or not)

From what I have heard Bolton is pretty much out of the picture, and I know we stopped recruiting Taryn Todd so he committed to TCU. Really wish we could of signed Coleman, I think he could of played this year, now UC will have to play him every year at ECU.

As for Nsoseme he is still working out at UC so who the hell knows what he will do, I would imagine he isn't getting any love from any school better than UC, so he would go to a smaller school and maybe get more playing time, I would like him to return but if he doesn't I wont lose any sleep.

I think Brannen is going to "shoplift tradition"....lol! At least a little. What Cronin means is toughness and rebounding and defense etc. Those should be basic ideals for any coach really. What some fans want to shoplift is early NCAA tourney exits and brutal tempo.

It's going to be hard for me now to look at a recruit and see what fits. It was so easy with Cronin for me to evaluate a recruit. As long as they could play defense and hustle etc...they would be able to get playing time whether they could score or not. It's going to take a couple of years to figure out Brannen's best targets for his system. Obviously there will be more focus on scoring and shooting...but he will still need some defenders.

Yeah, I'm not sure what nsoseme is looking for. He wouldn't get many major offers I wouldn't think. Maybe coach told him to look elsewhere, but I doubt it. At this point, I would take any bodies over 6'8 that can play next year.

Bolton to Iowa State, I don't know the whole story but apparently whom ever was guiding him was a handful which turned off a lot of suiters including UC.
