You need to pay more attention to these nuts. Recognize real talk when you see it. Whos really that petty to be doing spell check on a board. Just about the lamest thing you could do. This isn't english class as a matter of fact, if you went over to london Britain they would look at you funny bc over here in America is not proper english. Just a bunch of rejects/cast offs thinking ur somethin, oh excuse me "your"... You happy tight ass? Know your history clown

As far as his recruiting, there is no debate it wasn’t great the last couple years. We went from having 1-2 project types to having half our roster being those type of guys. I think he said multiple times he didn’t want to fight for guys that didn’t want to be here. Which is understandable to a point but you kinda need to in order to get those players.

Dude cronin must have really got under your skin man. When did you start watchin UC hoops whos your favorite UC baller of all time? i wonder bc your scope and view comes across very narrow. You hate cronin more than I could ever hate Brannen. Do us all a favor and stop bringing him up. Your like the main one that does it. Its really pathetic

I think it was a combination of a off putting personality and more importantly, a style that top prospects don't want to play in. You can only fake it so many times and recruits were catching on that their style of play was a grind it out defensive style. His last few years recruiting wise were dreadful, it's really tough to argue that. They may not have had a down season if Cronin was here, but it wouldn't have been that good either especially with this tough OOC early schedule. Unfortunately Brannen has to deal with the poor recruiting that has been going on over the past couple years.

Mick had every opportunity to prove doubters wrong in 2018. The story over and over was that he couldn't get out of the second round, yet he had his best team ever in a bracket where everything fell right. Yet he had a monumental collapse that will go down in the history books. Had he made a run to the final four things would be different, but he didn't and proved the doubters to be correct.

Who knows at UCLA. He has talent this year and isn't doing anything with it. It'll depend on how he can recruit and how he can manage the personalities. But he doesn't have a lot of time.

I liked Cronin back in the day but am stoked about Brannen. I think he'll get the job done.

Recruiting rankings are OVERRATED. What type of dumbass theory is it that cronins recruting declined when guys are leaving and playing pro? The past 3 or 4 yrs in a row a guy has went pro... What are we talking about here. Teams get top recruits all the time and blow them. Uccon had been out recruiting us by rank the past few yrs for example what has that done for them? You need the right guy to fit what ur trying to do. If a guy isnt involved in AAU or one of these camps ppl will rarely knw you. Zac harvey hasnt done nothin, Jermaine lawrence didnt do nothing, antwaun jones way back never put it together... Theres a number of examples

No we'll take shooters just play defense too and knw how to swing the ball without standing there looking stupid. Fredricks wont do a damn thing the rest of his career, hes not goin pro league or overseas book it. Only reason he peaked 20 on us is bcs well, we just kind of suck right now. 2nd half defense continues to fold

This is my last post to you because you're too stupid to have a conversation with. But you tried to be clever/smart and still used the wrong freaking wording you idiot.

It should have been "you're" not "your".

Yeah the last thing we need are freshman guards scoring 11 plus ppg and 3 assists on 56 per shooting and 53 per from three. I agree that recruiting rankings are overrated but when you use a team as an example pick one that's actually recruited better. Last four years UC has had the better class twice and UConn twice. Uc aac class ranks 2,2,2,4 UConn 1,8,9,2.

How about we try and keep it civil in here and about our basketball related opinions. I'm sure I have been disrespectful to someone on here as have others, for that I am sorry. We are going to disagree can we try and do it respectfully.

Everyone cut out the insults and keep posts on topic. Just follow those two simple rules and this can be a quality place for Bearcats discussion.

This is the thread to put all discussions that don't fit a certain topic. That includes arguments about Cronin or Brannen. If someone uses insulting language, just report the post. Responding just fans the flames. We don't need this site to be filled with "idiot", "dumbass", or "your mom".

Merry Christmas.
