good looks like the all those retweets about cronin staying in vegas after the reports of him flying home were all a troll job thats good to know. these trolls on twitter are starting to give me a heart attack
 
Wow mick is the man, doesn't care if everyone hates him as long as the administration puts together an acceptable basketball facility for the program talk about taking one for the team.

Oh man, LT, UC, and Westside are gonna have a field day with this
 
Actually felt like our offense was really good at times last year. A marked year over year improvement. We were missing drive and kick because our PG isn't a burner. If you want to knock Cronin for not recruiting a proper PG, I'm on board with that.

My bigger issue is with the demeanor of the team sometimes. They'll start a game running great offense and as soon as it doesn't work for a trip or two, they'll quit on it. Too often they let the other team dictate their tempo. It's great to be able to play different styles but why willingly get into a rock fight with Temple? It just seemed like they were TOO malleable last year.

Again, Mick can shoulder some of that blame. It's his job to establish and foment an identity. But we can put some of that on the players as well...can we not? Mick often said his players were "too nice". Huggs was great at getting guys to play with an edge but honestly, how hard was it to get Art Long to be a punk on the court?
 
Once Mick gets the players in place he will play faster. Don't have the horses yet.

I'll be your agent. Not because you need one. Just because I want 10% off the top! LOL

Legend coaching the bearcats is gaining steam... I like it.

Be sure to voice ur opinion on this to ono/bohn...

Jason if u get 2 mil a year plus 1 million from Jordan and a daily zebra ice cream cone... ill up ur payout to 13 percent.
 
It's being speculated that the thing Mick needs to stay at UC is the use of a jet for recruiting and a concrete time line for when the renovations will be complete. More money for him was not a show stopper. He is asking that these things be put in writing.

What is apparent is that when someone ask for things to be put in writing there usually is a reason. 1 such would be failure to live up to other promises. If Mick feels like he is getting the run around from Bohn in the time frame associated with when the renovations will take place it could be a reason why he is so adamant about getting it written down. Example would be locker room updates. 2. Could be this isn't the first time Bohn has told him something that didn't materialize? I don't know about you guys but my business sense is that when I need to involve lawyers and get things put in a document here is a lack of trust. Generally if I don't trust someone it's because their conduct or word has been suspect in the past.
 
Most important things in recruiting are facilities, league affiliation along with putting kids in the NBA. if Mick can drive the bus toward that we will all be happy. He has done a fine job with out those things. he is getting close to achieving those things.

Most important things in recruiting is putting kids in the NBA! The other things are fluff.
 
News of Mick in Vegas reaches campus


Ono: Bohn?

Bohn: Oh no


Realizing they were the last to hear the news. Ono "I'll tweet something to buy time...you call Mick"
 
i dont think its by accident that when cronin was here during hugs years and arena wasnt such a deal breaker for recruits and when he was at louisville that he was one best recruiters in the country. there is no doubt in my mind that when the new arena comes if cronin is still here that we will have one top 20 classes every single year no doubt in my mind
 
Since Cronin signed his extension:

4th place AAC
5th place AAC
^The conference that is sooooo bad.

1-4 in the postseason

8 seed
9 seed

The fact that Cronin is "holding the cards" shows that the administration has no backBohn.
^See what I did there?

But this has turned into a circus. The longer this goes, the more ridiculous it is to me that Cronin is the one making denands. I guess unless this is all him truly wanting to leave.
