You can claim everyone was saying P5 coaches would run to UC head coach job offer. You can claim we should get nothing but 4 and 5 star recruits from here on out. You can claim this year we need to make a F4 or bust. Things like that. You get the idea. It's disingenuous. But sometimes a rational argument is not easily supported so you have to create the straw man to create the divide. |

In some cases, such as trauma, it can be a very necessary and protective tool but when it comes to basketball programs it makes you (the collective you of people doing what you're talking about) looks like idiots. |

I have no beefs with Brannen personally. I'm mostly just responding to the guys who berated Cronin every time we lost a single game for the last 4 years or so. They made my forum experience not so fan with ridiculous takes, so I'm just returning the favor a bit. And nothing I've said about Brannen has been untrue. I'm just stating facts around the the state of the program. I mean we got people jumping for frickin joy because we signed Jeremiah Davenport. Which is hilarious too, considering he is an unranked prospect that Played an extra year in HS so that he could get more major offiers and those offers just didn't come. I just have high expectations for this program and me being mad at the fact that a team I pay hundreds of dollars to watch every season, is now going to suck next year and most likely for forseeable future, is wrong. Its going to be 21-22 season before we make the tourney again unless he really kills it on the recruiting trail. And there were people saying that because Memphis and UCONN get 5 star kids then UC should be getting them and berated Mick for not doing it. I have zero Allegiance to Mick. I want him to turn around UCLA though and won't root against him. But other than that, I don't care about Mick Cronin anymore. He is no longer the coach. But I'm more upset with the fans who i had to hear meltdown on the 5 or 6 times a year we lost a game. its also funny though that people are already starting to lowering the expectations for John. To me... it seems like this fanbase would gladly trade 1 elite 8 even if it meant Missing the tourney 4 out of 5 years. |

Since you love Cronin so much and are so angry at those that wish Hugs hadn’t been run off...why don’t you take a look at their achievements over their UC careers. Spoiler alert - micks resume doesn’t stack up. |

How come no predicted National Championship? I mean what do we do this for. Me personally I expect brannnen to, I don't know... we got a kid from moller I haven't heard about until now and I live in Cincinnati. Well that's just great.. I hope Brannnen gets to a sweet 16 in the next 3 yrs but that's assuming we don't make the tournament in the next 2. And taking that into consideration we're probably gonna dud the next 3 recruiting classes in the AAC. So, I guess we're gonna just give this guy 5 yrs, 6 tops to make 1 tournament. Clearly I'm not too optimistic, hopefully Keith reaches his potential this yr, also think hardnett has ability guess we'll get to at least see his player development with current Cronin players but that's if they stay and play
