Seems like your trying to stir something up that isn’t there.


Reason I posted: woke up, checked my email, and I see a notification from the former Bearcats thread. Decided to chime in.

I don’t care that mick won. Though I do believe he will be successful at UCLA.
I think we can all agree that we are better off without Mick Cronin.

And I have been talking about that.

Just spilt my posting between here, BCJ and the AAC Forums. I just posted a breakdown of how good Jarron has been in Conference on BCJ, and yesterday I posted that UC was the Top 3 in almost every category offensive and defensively in conference on the AAC Board.


I mean, I was at the game on Tuesday with my daughter. Im not gonna be posting how great they are in that moment while Im feeding her dipping dots and watching live basketball.


I Can be fan of this team and still love the Mick Cronin years. You're one trying to draw the lines in the sand. I think the last 5 years of the Cronin was fun and I'll defend those players and that era.

I want Mick to kick the pac 12's ass. He's an underdog who is being counted out by most everyone. I always love an underdog story and I hope he kicks ass.

And I also want UC to kick ass. The only difference was I have less evidence to be confident it will happen but It's absolutely growing by the day.

TBD


If we start winning the leagues and going to the second weekend of the tourney then you may be right.

but until then, I'd never make such a statement with out a bunch more evidence

I think one of the issues with Cronin recruiting was not that he couldn't land a 4 star guy if there was a clear opening on the roster...he did. It was that he would not recruit OVER players (very often). He was okay with the back up player with few skills as long as they could provide the rest of what he wanted. That way he could keep the veterans happy and not worried about their job...and then maybe after a few years the young guys could develop.

I think Brannen is going to take the best player available that he can get or that he needs. That may result in a few more transfers over time but also a more skilled bunch of players in the end. Then he can work on developing their defense to his standards over time. He's getting some good D out of his team but the holdovers are a big part of that. We shall see if he can field a solid defense with a preference of skill over athleticism.

I would like to see a top 50 D and a top 25 offense

FOH. I didn't say that about any of the guys that left...

Alright I believe you. (It was Leonard Stokes that said it...I always get you two confused)

Will you call Leonard Stokes a liar?

This is a god awful take no matter who said it.

Brooks let before real practices even started. Same for Fredericks. Logan had a personal issue.

This is not the reason why they left. So I’ll call stokes a liar considering they barely get practice time in that part of the offseason.
