Don't forget that Washington, Evans, and Clark who are leading this team were all top 100 recruits. I think there is more to rankings than some want to believe. Yes there are outliers but it is more of an exception and a rare occurrence. I mean Brooks can't even finish around the rim and he's 6'10".

I'm not worried about rankings either but when you are hearing Frankie just drained 8 3s the other night and holds offers from Texas A&M and someone else I cant remember and hearing some Juco names that shooting very well from behind the arc and are playing extremely well and hold offers from some very good school then you hear this dude compared to Shaq Thomas, shooting 50% from the free throw line, and has offers from St Bonnie and Buffalo you don't get too excited about it. I get it the T Moore comparison which is great. Again, I just feel as of late we are hearing some serious names including Tevian Jones, so I wouldn't be thrilled about this unless it was late summer and we needed someone, but hey prove me wrong.

Brooks has his good minutes and he has some bad minutes. Hopefully he finishes this year with his play trending up and takes another step forward next year. I think you may be over stating his abilities a bit to make some kind of point here. |

If he could get them then, without a beautiful new gym to showcase, and the highest rated team under his coaching, i just don't see why he's not landing at least a Tevian Jones or someone in that range???

I hope we get pleasantly surprised as Luke Fickell has done for UC Football

Yes I did and first off Washington was not our recruit. He was a transfer. Both Evans and Clark were not highly sought after recruits when Mick began the process. They were under the radar talents that he found and recruited.

The thing I realized is this: I think we've been looking at this backwards for Cronin's whole tenure. Every time we land an off the radar player we hear, "I thought Cronin had a reputation as a great recruiter". And the answer I think is...he does. But it's in a way revolving around having an eye for talent, rather than closing the deal on 5 McD AA like Calipari. That's what makes our coach a great recruiter. This kid here is from Maryland? I bet if he comes to UC, all the coaches in that region will kick themselves for not being able to see it and not knowing how to get out of him what our coaches can. |
