I agree with you. Mick is his own worst enemy sometimes with his dogmatic coaching philosophies. I think it creates self-imposed limitations on the players he pursues. His comfort zone, especially when it gets to conference play, seems to be the grind it out gritty defensive effort. His...

I'm not sure about that. It seems he's had enough time and recruiting classes for us to know what to expect from a Cronin recruiting effort. I don't mean it that to be denigrating about his effort or the players that he gets. I get that we want higher ranked recruits. I don't get people being...

We made it past the first cut & into the top 6-8 for a Big XII spot. Essentially, we've made as far as Cronin does with top recruits...sorry couldn't resist http://www.wmcactionnews5.com/story/32935215/report-memphis-among-6-8-schools-on-big-12-expansion-list

http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/college-sports/collegesports/2016/08/25/big-12-expansion-update-next-step-interviews-three-getting-attention Looks like the first round of interviews for perspective schools is complete. This article speculates UC being one of the top 3 candidates.

I hope you're right. It seems Texas is pushing for Houston (based on the extension campus stuff covered in this thread). To get the votes they need Oklahoma. OU might say don't block our first choice in and we'll give you Houston. Are we the first choice for OU? or is BYU? I have to think that...

That's bizarre about the thread. I'm not sure what's weirder, the state of denial they are in or that someone thinking the thread's existence would have some sort of impact on the proceedings. That's a unique blend of stupidity and narcissism.

The above comment and the one before were 100% spot on in my opinion. This is ingrained into his philosophy and identity. It shouldn't be a surprise year after year that the Cat's aren't a more effective offense. From a fan perspective debating the merits of that style is good forum fodder, but...

Oscar is an all-time great not just for UC but all of basketball. All the doors at the University should be open to him. If the Big O getting free seats is really a concern, we've officially run out of things to complain about - it's way too early in the offseason for that.

He does tend to over-hype everyone. I do agree with him that the depth at the 4 and 5 are questions though.

No, I said cheating occurs and I don't know if we are. If he is trying to run a clean program (of which I said I don't know if we are) recruiting might be more challenging. I actually share a lot of your frustrations. I differ in that I believe there's probably more nuance and challenges to...

I think the coaching staff not closing the deal is an issue. You can't ignore other factors that can influence recruiting like the shoe companies. Google shoe companies & recruiting and you'll find all kinds of stories about their influence. Also, there seems to be enough anecdotal and...

Part of the problem is that this year's Sr. class would have included Morman, Strickland, and Lawrence. As the recruiting classes fall apart (for a variety of reasons) there's holes to plug that as we're seeing are hard to fill. This year's recruiting class doesn't have the juco help like a Cobb...

The Enquirer article mentions that "The multipurpose arena, which opened in September 1989, was criticized for uncomfortable seating and poor sightlines from its inception." Presumably UC should have been aware of the seating and sight line issues. Did they proceed to add to the overall...

I think his comment was meant to be sarcastic.

I'm hopeful about next season. It's seems hard to read too much into the next year based on the previous season. We'll have a new players (new to the program and newly eligible) and current players asked to take on more responsibility. I hope one player emerges as the leader. Not in the sense of...

Any word on if the visit has occurred or when this week it might?

It's worked well for Iowa St. I agree with you that we should use it as another way to bring in talent.

I'm excited about the possibility of him coming to the Cats. I wonder if the assist / turnover ratio was more about him carrying load for the team. There were probably we had to take games over and do everything. Inevitably that will lead to turnovers. He might really benefit from a better...
