I have plenty of criticism for mick, Brannen and players, but doesn’t mean I have to bash any one of them because they could be a little better. See the bright side fellas, I promise it does a lot for your sanity.
 
We don’t need this gut to play a little. He and Lahkin get to matchup against whatever goons Houston rolls out and literally abuse them

We’ve never even seen the guys play. Relax. Didn’t we just do this with mason and Saunders, where you told them to transfer before watching them play. Relax

And the goal needs to be to be the best team we can be. It should not be to get players to fight houston.
 
We won the league last year and went to the championship game this year. Yeah Tulane Jr.

What does last year have to do with our current roster and situation? Hell, what does making the AAC Championship this year have to do with our current roster and situation.

We currently have 4 scholarship players. We have no one signed. We appear to be on the cusp of signing some turd that was fielding offers from Elon and Old Dominion. And apparently a scholarship for Rob freaking Banks is in the works.

This program is an absolute shambles. And I really don't want to hear about last year when our three best players were Cronin's kids (Cumberland, Scott, and Williams).

Have you actually watched his mixtapes, he’s a pretty legit player. We have had plenty of recruits that didn’t have a bunch of mid major offers that turned out to be pretty good for our program.
Of course I would have loved to see more recruits up to this point, but it’s early in the process for transfers, gonna wait and see what we get.

Like why are you calling an 18yr old kid a turd, and bashing him for no reason, that shows me all I need to know about your character
 
Fan expectations for:

Mick Cronin - mad because he wasn't getting multiple top 100 recruits and said recruiting to UC is hard. Recruits ranked below 200 were generally considered poor recruiting.

John Brannen - Excited to get an unranked recruit who had an offer from VT (but they backed off) and a bunch of mid-majors. But hey, some other major schools talked to him and decided he wasn't worth a scholarship, so it's good.

We aren’t going to be a top 10 team next year. Get the best guys, go from there. Yes it sucks we have to start over but if we aren’t firing the guy, this is where we are

You're right. I'm letting my frustrations get to me a bit. I probably shouldn't post something like that about a kid that I don't know, and who's just trying to play ball.

The insult aside, which definitely wasn't warranted, my point still stands. If these are the types of players we can expect to fill out this already depleted roster then we're dead in the water. We have NO chance of being a top 60 program any time soon. At least not in 2021.

Look, I'm sorry if I'm coming off as being harsh. But now we're into year 3 with no hope in sight. What can I look forward to? Maybe a decent team in 2022? Maybe???

I mean, what the hell are we doing here? This program is destroyed right now. It's going to take a couple years to build it back up. And even if we assume that's he's able to pull some rabbits out of a hat, we haven't even begun to start talking about trying to balance out our classes yet.

I'll stop ranting. Probably need to take a break from UC basketball talk for a bit...

Man stop. Everyone wants the guy fired. It’s not happening. What do you want us to do? Can we still enjoy the team or no?

How do you know vt backed off? Spin king

He is probably better than kelvin Gaines, David nysurk, biggie McClain, quadri Moore, Jamari Strickland, and a long list of other flops.
 
MDW79 and Justin should be best buddies.

Yeah, that's bs. I've been one of Brannen's biggest supporters all along. I was also never a very big Mick fan. I'm surprised you don't remember that from the old BCN days. (PS What happened to your boy the thegreatone?)

I'm sorry, but if people aren't looking at what's going on right now and are ticked off then I guess they're just a lot more positive and accepting than me.

I see little to no hope moving forward this coach. He's a lame duck.

Yeah I don’t see a ton of upside for next season, but with as much loss as we have had this off season we gotta start somewhere. Maybe that kid can’t contribute much next season, but he’s a 6’9 guy who can take people of the dribble. He’s not uncoordinated or slow, he’s got plenty of upside despite what jUstin and sky blade say.

Quote from Bryson Spell interview about a month ago. He listed UC and ASU as going after him hard and quite a few other schools as showing some interest. VT was nowhere on the list. ASU (and the other major schools he listed) never offered him a scholarship.

It's UC or mid-major for Bryson and that's probably why'd he'd choose us given everything going on right now.
