Vaughn, SK, and Logan are in top 5 all time scoring in school history. Are you actually saying they werent good finds? Wow. Logan would not have been a bearcat if not for Mick. Huggins did not want him. Mick kept pushing and pushing for Huggs to take him. Finally Mick told Steve to call Huggs and tell him how much he wanted to be a bearcat. Huggs finally gave in. Mick found him, recruited him and got him on the bearcats. Dixon was an integral part of Mick's best team and scored 1000 points. Bishop was an elite defender that helped get UC back to the NCAA tournament. Clark didnt get recruited by ANY team on tobacco road.

When you have to list Dixon and Bishop to defend Mick, that just really points out how weak recruiting has been for 9 years. I liked Dixon much much more than Bishop.

I was listing his diamond in the rough finds. Which you said he did not have a good track record of, which of course is bullshit as I have just pointed out.

Do you really want me to go back and list all the ones Mick missed on? I could easily do it, but I think everyone knows the outcome already.

Clark can play in the post. Deberry has some post moves... Ellis is limited but still a put back

Some of the playes you call diamonds, other programs would call the rough.

So you are telling me his recruiting classes of Sanders, Shaq, JDIII, Caupain, Lawrence, etc., have been centered around defense? Those guys were supposed to be offensively inclined players but for the most part never panned out. Still to be seen with Caupain but IMO he has a lot of work to do.
