Mick Cronin

I think He will be able to get the players and recruits there that he couldn’t get here. I think he system could work in the tourney with those players.

 

[cincycpaw]

He’s gone. Good luck. I project UCLA is hiring a new coach in 4 years.

 

[cincyguy13]

Now who?

John brannen would be my first choice.

 

[the_one_32]

John Brannan and Chris Mullen would be the top of my list.

 

[the_one_32]

Problem is, Curtis is probably gone with him unless he is tied to the program enough to look past the coaching change.

Perhaps. He is a solid coach. But I just don’t see this working out. And that AD will be gone soon. Not good when the guy that hires you is gone. First sign of trouble, new ad wants his/her own coach

John Brannan and Chris Mullen would be the top of my list.

Chris Mullen was a train wreck with good players

 

[the_one_32]

I would disagree that he was a train wreck. I think he turned that program around relatively quickly

Getting 5 star recruits will help a lot.

My only concerns are:

1) Samari - please still come and be a Bearcat
2) Cumberland - please stick around
3) LoJo - remain a Bearcat.

They had good players and never did anything. Agree to disagree

 

[cincyguy13]

I would look at Van Exel also. Ex-pro. Great player. Been around the nba and d-league for a while. Could get recruits to follow. Be worth a shot

This times 100!

3) LoJo - remain a Bearcat.

Yeah, all three of those are major concerns now.

 

[cincyguy13]

This times 100!

Yeah, they are going to have to take a shot with whoever they get. Could get the guys to stay here also

 

[Queens_NYC]

John Brannan and Chris Mullen would be the top of my list.

As someone who has watched a LOT of St. John's over the past several seasons this would be a big NO from me.

Well mick Cronin haters you got what you wanted, now we get to deal with a probable decommit from Curtis and probably have Cumberland go pro and have other people transfer, maybe we’ll make it to the tourney in 5 years

He left. No one forced him to leave. Grow up

 

[the_one_32]

Immediate thoughts on players:

Tre is going to be a grad transfer
Jarron will stay for his senior year
UC won't grant Curtis a release
Logan Johnson will transfer

HOPEFULLY if those two transfer, the new coach has a couple guys in mind to replace.

 

[z_bearcat]

If UC hires the right coach, I could see Cumberland, Curtis and Johnson remaining. But, it has to be the right coach.
