Anthony Buford called in to Mo's show a few minutes ago and said he doesn't think people realize what a good job Mick Cronin has done. Especially under the financial restrictions he's done it under. Anthony said Mick's budget is one of the three or four lowest in the league. He said he hasn't been able afford to hire the best coaches and do some of the things other coaches can do. He also said he couldn't be prouder as a former player and alum.
 
gotta love Buford...it is great to see a former Bearcat and alum speak out about Cronin's efforts and successes...
Go Bearcats!
 
Anthony is correct and points to the one major remaining hurdle that could keep this program from ascending to the top of the Big East (and the nation). The big money boosters have to come back- this program needs an added financial punch in the WORST way. Hopefully this season will help some (if it hasn't already) and I am certain a follow up season in which the team returns to the NCAA will help quell a lot of doubts about continuity.

I just don't see any way this team can compete on a year in year out basis at the top of the Big East without (a lot) more money.
