That was another huge miss from this staff where most people thought were we the favorite.

Would love to have Jalen Tate on this team.

Doesnt matter how you can slice it. Not getting him was a red flag for brannen

It was definitely odd. I really wonder why he didn’t end up here. Like I said, not the end of the world, but is odd.

No excuse, it’s confusing. You’d think he would have. He had a lot of success under brannen. It’s not like we heard of issues between the two, or brannen didn’t play him or use him. We don’t know. It’s not an excuse to say you don’t know.

I just think the Tate situation and then the Alabama assistant situation were a bit alarming.

These were places where CJB had relationships built prior to even becoming the UC coach and yet in both cases they chose not to come to Cincinnati.

I think the player is way more alarming than an assistant. Assistants are unpredictable. We seen that when cronin left

In what way Did the Cronin situation show unpredictability ?

I meant when no he was an assistant

I think the tate thing is fair. He’s dad went here. He’s former coach is here. Which he had success under. I would have bet money he would have ended up here. I don’t think all the other misses are fair. Coaches miss on a lot of players but Tate thing is odd

I'm disappointed we missed Tate and definitely hold Brannen accountable for that to a degree, but one could argue that he had just as much, if not more of a reason, to go to OSU.

-His dad also played there (before transferring to UC)
-His brother, Jae'Sean had a storied career there
-He grew up in Columbus

This article insinuates he had interest from OSU.

Tate, 6-6, 180 pounds, chose Arkansas over interest from Cincinnati, Ohio State, Central Florida, Kansas State, Gonzaga and others. The more than 14,000 Razorbacks fans in attendance for Arkansas' early-season 66-60 win over Northern Kentucky made a big impact on him.

Yeah, we just don’t know. Maybe it was as simple as not to wanting to go where his dad went. Start his own thing. I have no idea
