Hes gone... It makes no sense... But is what it is.
Agree, makes zero sense. Why would he leave his teammates, to go to another team, with new guys and new coach, for one year? Are there any rumors out there as to the reason? I know people said to be closer to home but that obviously isn't it.
NCAA is rapidly (for them) moving towards allowing students to have the same rights as coaches...to leave one place & go to another without any penalty (at least one time during academic career). They are increasingly granting waivers for students to play immediately when the coaches that recruited them bail. Maybe he thinks he won't have to sit a year??Family wasnt thrilled that brannen didnt reach out to them within 15 minutes of excepting the job... This one is so bizarre.
Hes an older senior as is. Sit out a yr. Take off yr of career. New coach. New system. For one season. Mind boggling.
Hopefully truly thinks this through. Bc its not makikg sense.
I’m confused. I read all the time that we can’t get a recruit because no playing time. Then if a ton of playing time opens we can’t get a recruit because the program is in bad shape?
I’m nervous but letting coach do his job.

can we give the guy more than 3 weeks before we start getting nervous? Coaches usually recruit players for years (at least several months) before they get a commitment but we are expecting recruits to line up within 3 weeks?
I'm more concerned about the Staff.
Travis Steele Knocked it out of the park with his 2 big coaching staff hires because they had guys in the pipeline and they recruited a certain region extremely well.
Just 1 year later they will bring in a top 20 class to start 2019 and they already have a top 50 player committed for 2020
Travis Steele hit 2 Homeruns on his staff and now is hitting HR's in recruiting.
just a little frustrating because we just went into a crucial recruiting people with an analytics guy who has never really recruited before and another guy who wont actually be on the bench, but rather in a support role.
In my opnion, Brannen put all his eggs in Pettway's basket and clearly they talked before hand about him taking the job and he was caught flat footed when Alabama counted and he choose to stick to his alma mater. Now its almost getting too late for a guy to want to jump staffs.
LOL Were gonna end up with the NKU staff.
Brannen is quickly realizing the reality of not being in a power league with power league money and power league visibility
xaviers recruiting didn't uptick, they've been getting guys for years.
all the people i've seen panic have just so happened to be guys that were huge mick supporters. i wonder why that is.
I don't really wonder why that is.
Well for years we have been told that Mick was trash and that we could do some much better.
So now it’s here.
And I will hold John Brannen to an incredibly high standard. Just like mick was held to one.
Especially knowing that we could have kept mick fairly easily but Bohn choose not to.
If jarron returns and still we miss the tourney next year I’ll be borderline calling for his head. If it stretches to 2 years in a row, I’ll absolutely want him gone, especially if doesn’t have a top 100 commit by then.
It will only take a few down years in a non power league to really kill your momentum.
For now, I’m all in. But I will absolutely be expecting the world of John Brannen. He inquired about the job before it was even open, Bohn didn’t want to retain mick for 6 years, and half the fan base says we can do better. So my expectations are blue blood level.

So if you’re holding him to micks standards he doesn’t ever have to achieve anything meaningful... sounds easy enough

and after 2 weeks we should clearly give up on him!
and mick wasn't staying here. i don't really know why you have this image of mick wanting to be here so bad but big bad bohn just didn't like him and made him leave.
mick wanted out and mick chose to leave. he wasn't passing up ucla, it didn't matter what bohn did.
