Mick's All-Time Team

[#BearcatNation]

Don't tell me I'm getting the mute BearcatNation

Haha not at all, I much enjoy your posts Rob. Keep them coming.

Coaching not players. Mick still learning that lesson today. You play your best players. Lance was given keys to team too late

Vaughn tailed off big time playing with Stephenson. They didn't mix well together. I wasn't a big Stephenson fan that year, but talent-wise, compared with a lot of the stiffs that Mick has brought in here, there's no comparison. Stephenson had the goods.

No doubt lance had the skill, would have been a stud had he stayed longer. But it was real interesting to see how vaughn a great four year guy kind of regressed his senior year. I know he had a little more talent, and i agree he did not mesh well with lance games kind of clashed but he went from averaging 17 as a sophomore 15 as a junior down to 11.7 as a senior usually thats the other way around

First Team All Big East as well as a sophomore. That is an accomplishment that no other Cronin recruit accomplished (I believe), including Stephenson.

Vaughn was great that sophomore year. He no doubt should be number two on that list behind SK, who is an all time bearcat great

all he had to do was stand around perimeter and hit open shots all day. Instead lance stood around while Vaughn stayed at PG. Mick tried not to expose lance instead of elevate his draft stock. Lance went from lottery pick to 2nd rd under mick development. Perfect example that you don't let JR/SR start by default that a get you no where. Hold open competition EVERY year at ALL positions, I dont care if you got returning all American. Kids compete at their highest levels when they feel it's a chance for spot if they work hard.

Lance won freshman of year didnt he?

yes lance was big east rookie of the year. But he wasnt 1st team all conference which was I believe what L-T was referring too

If we were picking a team for one season what combo would you most want to start with.
1) Yancy/cash
2) JJ/SK
3) Troy/Gary

For me its JJ/SK.

Sk could score. Had we had an SK type player on last years team or even this years upcoming team, we'd be deadly. And Jackson always provided intensity

Yancy/Cash for me. Those guys would've wrecked shop in the AAC. That #3 choice has a chance to make a big jump though. I loved Jackson, but he wasn't meant to be a second scoring option imo.

Have to go with the AA and whomever else doesn't really matter...

Satterfield/Martin

Satterfield was the man

8 parker
7 dixon
6 jj
5 yancy
4 ?
3 ?

* surprised he had yancy so low. Sk is #1, imo Vaughn will be 2 and cashmere will be 3. #4 will be interesting

Yeah wow. Gates #5 is a joke. No way Cronin's best team exists in the Big East without him. He should probably be #2.

This means Stephenson is top 4? I can't think of anyone else.

SK, Vaughn, Lance and Cash...

I have such a hard time with Lance being over Gates, since Gates was around for 4 years and was such a huge part of the best team. I'll never complain about Cash being up there though. He's probably my favorite player in the Cronin Era. I have so much respect for his guts. He gave us everything he had.
