Fans have been wanting better recruiting. Fans have been wanting more offense. Fans have been wanting to go further in the tournament. But now fans don’t want change. Makes a lot of sense

Perfect way to put it. People want the change to be as smooth as possible. Doesn’t work like that.
 
Maw is cool. Don't knw nothing about brannen or his recuriting bc to this point he hasn't done anything. And it's not like he's young. We'll see what gabe looks like when he gets here but based off what was brought I'm not holding my breath

To this point he hasn’t done anything recruiting wise.. dude he hasn’t even been here a year, he’s got a top 100 guy in Harvey, Gabe looks very much the part and he’s the kind of guy who will only get better. Now Eason, not shabby for a turnover.

He’s got 2 slots left also.

We'll see what they look like when they get here. Rankings are overrated which is why I would never really trip off of them because it's about who's fitting the system. Rankings are for casual fans the most part. But we'll see what they look like and how they are coached when they get here
 
You also don’t seem to have a point. Is your point Brannen is terrible. If so, noted. Also, like many have asked, what’s the solution. Who should we have hired?

Dude don't try to troll me like I'm not making sense. Get your head out your ass, rub your eye leads breath read and open your mind maybe then what I'm saying will begin to manifest for you. Like I've said plenty times u hire who's qualified and whoever has earned the title of UC Headcoach. Mike Bohn gift wrapped this for yo boy and then left. Ta... U gotta be kidding me

In all honestly. Uc is NOT going to be able to hire a proven coach as you put it. The market is too small. The pay is less than your larger schools and conferences. We have always hired up and coming coaches from lower conferences and lower programs. We are not a blue blood program. Brannen is an up and coming coach that has a nice resume, so he was a good hire in my eyes. Assistant for years at a major conference for years. Take a division 2 school to division 1 and win the conference and get ncaa ticket. I don’t see why you don’t think he is not a viable coach?
 
The other candidate was van excel. I loved him and yes I was a fan back when he was here. But lack of college coaching experience worried me. I would rather have Brannen than him, even though I thought he was awsome
 
You clearly weren't a real runner or sports player of any kind if you think having even a minor injury doesn't play a big role in how you perform. Or if you think not having proper conditioning doesn't play a big role in how you perform.

I see you like to out words in ppls mouth where and when did I suggest anything you are saying here?

I said hire a qualified coach. It's possible, if u can't do that here u shouldn't be an AD
 
Based off what. Not dishing out scholarships like holloween candy? The roster was full for next yr nothing to panic about. How about the administration get the money Right then a coach could recuuit for further down the line and know where he is going to be for the for seeable future

Look at the last three recruiting classes for mick. They have left us in the spot we are now with no depth. Look at Fredericks from Iowa. He lit us up and wanted to play for UC but Cronin wouldn’t offer him a scholarship because he was a basketball player.

Jarron isn't that hurt thats just an excuse for a number of reasons/issues if he was really that hurt he wouldn't be playing period but if he is and he's playing, maybe those question him should fall back. Or why he was scared of a Colgate defense getting set

I mean I think you can read your own posts.
 
Look, I'm not about to throw a guy under the bus that's done nothing but produce since he got here. Nothing in that post suggests injuries being a non factor. What I was saying tho is that This whole jarron is injuried thing is just a good way to mask other issues we may not be privey to. I just don't think he's that hurt. But yes I can read my own posts, and a lot of your dumb ones as well

Iowa basketball bores me. Fredrick's I mean ok... Whatever he scored on us but he still wasn't nothing impressive I see why he wasn't recruited here, all he could do is shoot
 
And just so I understand your stance. What qualifications are needed to be “qualified”.
He's not qualified bc of his resume. Not enough work put in. What he did at NKU didn't impress me to be honest no top 50 wins, NCAA blowouts I mean, if that's what you guys want. At least Huggins had personality, at least Cronin had ties and experience under two hall of famers. N I will never understand how a guy who played point guard in the NBA and also played with hall of famers made all-star teams at basketballs highest peak... Also coached at the highest peak isn't qualified but John brannen is... Man

There was literally no other coach the AD or board felt was better qualified. The search ended with a virtual unanimous decision. Whether or not it ends up that way is water under the bridge. He’s here and he apparently earned it with flying colors.

Time to step back and give it a rest. It’s not changing anytime soon. Put support behind the coach and let’s get it on. He’s going to be here a while like it or not
