IF UC gets into the B12, recruiting should naturally get a bump being in a P5. Along with that is a much higher budget for amenities and assistants.
Kids know B12 football, in basketball it makes zero differences. Personally for basketball alone I'll rather dominate aac before I throw my eggs in B12 basket. We already middle or end.of pack in most sports in aac no need to keep.tumbling backeards.
 
You got to spend $$$ to get $$$. The more you win the fatter your envelope $$$ go be. Not telling him how to spend. Just giving him an investment tip.
Gotta say Bulldog is right on! Same thing for the chicken in the egg. Do you build the arena first does that bring the fans? I say it would have been WAY WAY WAY cheaper to pay assistants more and get the top assistants. Once you start recruiting at a higher level you start winning at a higher level the arena will fill up even if it's the same arena. Just ask LT. He is also right on.
 
Thanks for the info. Sounds to me like we should have never let him go. If you're going to spend that many million dollars on an arena you better find a few hundred thousand dollars for the Top Flight recruiting assistant coach
buy all our assistants really nice watches. Be Cutting Edge. Everyone will know that you're the coach that takes care of his assistants. Quarterbacks do this all the time. They take care of their lineman. Maybe you don't have the same salaries them but you could do it on your own scale. Like me buying lunch for the people that help me at work. Show appreciation. Or bring in breakfast. It happens in all walks of life at your own level. I really think Cronin would get his money back and more
 
Some some of these things certainly may already be happening and I'm just not aware
 
Just do something basic and free for starters. Like getting involved on social media. Show recruits moms on snapchat yourself helping your daughter with homework or any ordinary things. You dont need a jet anymore with social media.
 
This may be very good news for UC.

Took a couple years, but Under Armour AAU has finally entered Ohio through @coachq7 and his new program - @C2KElite. Give them a follow.
 
One thing is for sure, I am going to miss Gary Clark. A lot. Hope we find a suitable replacement for him in this class.
 
Werent Lance Stephenson and Jermaine Lawrence 5*? I don't think it's a stretch to think Mick could land another....

True, but Lawrence was a epic failure. Its def possible for us to get 5 stars but it's evident it's not something that happens often. I like the last few recruiting seasons. Evans and williams have next level potential but they aren't trying to leave as soon as they get on campus a la Stephenson
 
I kinda disagree. The trajectory of our program is on the up n up, especially considering where Mick inherited the program. He's gotten a 5* player about 20% of years so I think it's realistic to expect a top recruit in one of the next classes.

I will say the 2018 class is extremely important. A nice tourney appearance might help us when you throw in a newly renovated arena.
