uh, okay, sure buddy. I can't wait to see if/when UC has a really good season or if/when Brannen picks up a stud recruit. "UC only won the national championship because of the culture that Mick put in place before Brannen even got here. UC should have won by more points" or "he only committed to UC because no one else wanted a top 5 player which would mess up their team chemistry".

I promise you the expectations at UC are higher then at a UCLA. We sold out season tickets, had a great showing for madness and was picked 3rd in our league.

UCLA was picked 8th and people expect it will take a few years. I mean UCLA also lost all its best players
Btw, UCLA beat UC in the tournament in 2017. That UCLA team went further than Mick has gone in a long long time. So once again it's incorrect to say that he inherited a roster that hasn't won in a long time. But facts never get in your way.

Guys. I’m not rooting against UC. So you can’t burn me with UC’s success.

I’ll be in my season ticket seats doing the same thing I always do. Cheering on the bearcats.

But I will absolutely hold Brannen to a high standard. I expect good recruiting, league championships and making the NCAA tourney every year as a baseline. I’ll be furious if we miss the tourney. But if we win, I’ll be just as happy.

I want CJB to be successful.

Lololol

The team that beat us in the 2017 tourney had Lonzo ball, TJ leaf, Aaron holiday, Bryce Alford, Thomas welsh, Ike anigbogu, issac Hamilton

None of those dudes play for UCLA... lol none of them played for UCLA even last year.

I love when people think they burn people but really just spew out the most BS stuff.


And FYI, the UCLA Team that UCLA beat last year had 3 pros on its team that also all left....Moses brown, jaylen hands and kris Wilkes.

Micks new team has tons of raw talent but no super stars, and no one on the team has been apart of a winning culture.

no shit, the point is that UCLA isn't some downtrodden program that has been in the dumps for a while. They've had more recent success than UC.

And as for the roster not winning in a long time, 2017-2018 they were a tournament team. Oh, but I'm sure it's the freshman you say that haven't won in a long time, huh? It's been what, one year for them? Lol.

Good. Then can you hold off on all your BS comments until any of that stuff happens?

Yep, he says he wants Brannen to be successful but also wants everyone to know he is ready to pounce at the first sign of trouble.

There's already been signs of trouble the guy couldn't keep a top 15 roster together. He hasn't won me over which in my mind is a glaring sign bc the games haven't even started yet, foreshadowing possibly a aspect about him that doesn't sell to many recruits. UC brand is strong enough to at least get in a kids ear or living room. Brannen is a watch film, analytics, run you out the gym kind of coach... I expect this team to struggle during this yr, primarily with post play, defensive continuity, offensive flow. Hopefully team chemistry on the court can pick up it's just alarming how brannen is speaking about shorted roster and practically botched practices. This yr had to be a success bcs he's fresh, wants a good start at this level and we got him as an upgrade replacement he was the apple of the ads eye the whole time.. We have to make the tournament bc next yr could easily be a wash.

We have made it to the 2nd weekend once in 13 years. I dont think our expectations are as high as you think they are

That said, if UC gets bounced in the first round this year, then I’ll just be convinced that this city has a playoff curse
The Nevada game gave me all the proof I need this city is cursed haha
