Mick a Candidate for UNLV?

[jacobkdoyle]

I'm stating facts. When Mick finished with him, he wasn't selected to play in the NBA. He has continued working and struggling for a couple years and now he makes it. How do you know that another coach or coaches hasn't helped him with his skills since Mick and gotten him over the top? The fact remains...two years down the road, he makes it. Not giving that credit to Mick at this point.

I guarantee you Cronin still talks to him on a very regular basis. And he didn't get drafted bc of his age...clearly a mistake by the NBA. Not an indictment on his skill set. The NBA Draft is all about assets. And how much guidance do you really think he was getting anyway? He was with at least 3-4 different teams in the year+ before he made it. Who do you think was there when he bounced from Summer League, to D-League, to 10-Day Contract? C'mon man. SK is a Cronin product all the way. He recruited him, he got him to an AA level. If you want more NBA players, you could complain about that. But to pretend Cronin has nothing to do with SK's success is just silly.

This aint fun to me anymore, well maybe a little, but this is now day 4. Ready to celebrate or be depressed. Just ready to know

If he gets out of town without signing i'd say both parties will move on. Really can not see him signing without a final meeting with UC.

the unlv beat writer just tweeted that the unlv AD texted saying she's meeting with cronin this morning

He's on a plane. This sh..T is getting absured for a avg coach.

I've seen him play many times over the last year and he looks "FAR" superior to the player that walked out of here 2 years ago. So, something caused that improvement. Mick talking to him on the phone didn't do it.

no one reported he was actively flying home yet - just that he was flying home today.

I thought he was on a plane. And i agree cronin will meet with uc.

I think there should be a comma where that hyphen is.

Him continuing to work his ass off and believe in himself had a lot to do with it. And he had a great support system through the process. C'mon man. You cannot just completely seperate SK from Cronin.

Tina Kunzer-Murphy texted she is meeting with Cronin this morning. Could be he still flies home afterward to think about it. #UNLVmbb #RJnow

700 just said he was on his way back with no deal sign. Ugh media in this town.

Okay, guess he's still there lol.

also a style choice, but please feel free to keep trolling and conflating grammatical errors with stylistic choices.

I SAY AGAIN

Cronin is not leaving UC

"Tommy"

700 reported on the enquirer's report. details were probably overlooked.

If mick kicked my ass i would prob move. Kinda embarrassing to have a 5'5 guy whip you.

I was thinking the same thing. But you westsde guys are pretty scrapping. Most of my relatives started on the westside. Lots buried in St. Joesph cemetery. thinking about that always makes me laugh because therea re two St. Joe's cemeteries. the Irish, Italian's and the Germans didn't want to be buried together in the old days.

 

[waterhead]

no.

one is a shorthand typing style choice. the other is a grammatical error.

you ****** up in your own post, by the way.

I could have sworn just yesterday you were up in arms about the language filter and now you have become the grammar Nazi? LOL...that's rich!!!

I didn't separate him. I gave credit to Mick up until two years ago when he couldn't make the NBA. Now, he has worked more, gotten new coaching, chatted with Mick on the phone plus many others and he makes it. Ok, I'll agree, Mick has a wonderful phone personality.
