Maybe Mick deserves some of that blame, but I heard him make comments a number of times indicating that he wanted to run, but Troy would slow it down on his own.

I know you didn't bring it up. Maybe I did, or maybe someone else did. Can't remember, but it has went on too long now, so we can all move on.
I think we could have run more last year but not sure it would help. When your wings don't take the ball and do something with it...and would rather pass it around...you are going to end up with late clock 3s either way. It was like "hot potato" for the last couple of years until Cumberland started going to the hoop.

Its hard to say though. Pre Troy we were in the grind it out big east where we were out recruited and out talented in nearly every game. Slow and steady kept us in the game.

Then we moved to the American but we recruited a PG who was fit for the big east. He was too clutch and too good to not play so you had to adapt your style around it.

But the reality is; Mick started recruiting Skill over the last few years. You need skill to play fast and still be efficient. Once he had Skill he put in the motion offense and it worked.


I mean Cronin has made a clear philopshy change. He recruits skill and also changed his offensive style.

in 2015-16 pre motion offense: #70 ranked offense
In 2016-17 post motion offense: #34 ranked offense


Mick can clearly run a skilled team and knows what he is doing on the offensive end when he has the right personnel.

Being right all of the time seems to be a very relaxed term. How is the 7 loss theory working out?

I was with you. I always thought he could still red shirt even though he played some, but everyone kept saying he couldn't so I believed them

Calling a Diarra redshirt was not a hard thing to do. I did as well. When he played a game the talk was over. Now that there is an injury maybe there is an out for him...but I doubt it's concrete.

He should have red shirted before game 1 IMO. We have Clark and Washington. We have obvious backups in Scott and Brooks. We also have Nsoseme. At one point in time we even had Moore figuring into the equation.

Bearcatboy was not Nostrodamas here....lol! It was easy pickings.

I think it’s going to be a medical redshirt exception granted by he NCAA

By normal rules, I think he couldn’t redshirt bc he played so late in the season
