Season Updates

He wants play how I said earlier go be new trend in basketball. Getting 5 athletes on court and letting them go to work

 

[TheRealMick]

Honestly he looked like Cronin 2.0 but better at recruiting. More willing to adjust his scheme to his players and also less of a micro manager on the court.

One of the articles I quoted said something along the lines of if you work your butt off he's willing to leave you in even if you make some mistakes.

But also perhaps worse offensively. Haven't really seen much talk about his offensive schemes other than chuck it and go get it.

mick has flint, demarr, satterfield, Pete mychal, lance, Lawrence, Cumberland, gates on his resume.

 

[TheRealMick]

And kid he had at Murray state probably was his best player ever

I don’t like this at all! But I’m getting on board right fing now! Wes is the man!

I don’t like this at all! But I’m getting on board right fing now! Wes is the man!

I mean who did you want instead?

I feel like we just got a guy the national media is gushing over

I have my doubts he can turn this or wants State of Cincinnati. He gets them “dudes” to play for him though.

Cronin was type 5 recruiter in country at time of his hire. I believe Zion had them on his top 5 though. I might give Cronin edge but not by much. He recruits locally though so this was HUGE GAMBLE with rayvon and lil Paul on horizon

I am not sure what this means. Type 5 recruits? If that means he sucked then I agree . Diamonds in the rough? F that. Just give me diamonds

Yah!!

Looking at Torvik over the last three years for UNCG: It seems like they exceled at not turning the ball over, forcing TO's, offensive rebounding, not giving up free throws and adjusted defense.

Biggest weakness: Three point percentage, getting to the FT line and three point defense (in 2019 and 2020, they were much better in 2021 and 2018).

The effective FG% defense was very good last year (and in 2018), but again bad the two years prior, directly related (I assume) to their three point % defense.

Tempo is in the low 100s to high 200s. Not exactly fast paced, but not quite the snails pace Cronin likes to play at. Quite a wide range though (5 in his first full year to 319 in 2018, indicating a willingness to adjust to his players).

I'm with what Chad said in his podcast regarding the "State of Cincinnati". There's really just not that much talent in Cincinnati for basketball. A guy every year or two, but with basketball getting guys who fit your system and want to play for you is more important. Recruit them from all over, don't limit yourself to Cincinnati.

Don’t tell the real mick

So chad post watching stealing from me again I see

I don’t like

At this point I'm not sure if you're serious or not. You're always the positive one... I'm supposed to be the negative guy here (well other than Justin).

Given the options, Wes Miller had by far the best resume of the up-and-comers. Yes he needs to work on his offense, but he should know that and get an assistant to help him. Getting better recruits will help him out as well.

This seems like a bridging of the gap, getting away from the Huggins coaching tree. But getting somebody who's going to get tough, defensive minded guys who bring it on every possession.

Though to be fair, I enjoy watching 55-50 slugfest as long as we come out on top.

Then he was worst coach

Probably not as difficult getting guys to sign up to play for huggs and slick Rick than it was getting them to sign up to play the most boring brand of basketball on the planet.

I want offense not defense. I will be the most positive guy you can remember but I don’t have to like it
