Seriously. Dude could have picked Nevada because his great grandpa went there. Who the hell knows.
It seems like Mick and co are at least in the conversation for higher rates players in 19 and 20, which is better than 17-18, at this point in the recruiting stage thats all we can ask for

Kinda like how Gaffney's dad played at UC.

I definitely agree with this.

Seven or eight years ago he recruited athletes that needed someone to teach them offense. He realized that wasn't working, mainly because he has trouble teaching offense, so he started recruiting more offensive minded players and teach them defense. Based on this I expect him to continue to adapt and find UC quality players who will help us advance.
I hope so. But the "offensive revolution" that got us Clark, Evans, Washington, Broome and Cumberland could be over after this year. I'm just not sure how many guys in the new core after them are going to be at that level. Even Jon Rothstein says our roster makeup is not that of an AAC Champion next year.

At least it is appropriate timing

I'm interested in what your conclusion on UC basketball is based on Nevada getting a 5*. Last year Western Kentucky got a 5* and look how impactful that was to their program. Stuff happens in recruiting and this is one of those things. Absolutely nothing can be concluded on UC basketball and Mick Cronin as a coach because a 5* choose Nevada in the middle of May.
My conclusion is that Nevada doesn't seem to sit around and whine all the time that everything is unfair.

What are you talking about? How do you know that? When has anyone associated with UC said something is unfair? You’re just making stuff up to prove whatever point you’re trying to make. And I have no idea what that point is.
