Re: New Bearcatnews.com Poll - Mick Cronin'srecruiting

[jon breiner]

I don't like CF's rating system because it rewards quantity over quality and 
does not address what a team needs.  This team needed bodies, and Mick did a 
good job by focusing on guards.  There are more 3 star or 4 star 6'2" guys 
than 6'8" guys so you have to go for them.  Getting a few 6'8" bodies would 
have done little good for next year's team unless they were capable of 
playing right away.  We did get 2 guys who can help, and that is saying alot 
based on only a few weeks to recruit.

And mostly for me, I just felt it was a "3-star" class, but Mick deserved a 
star for getting a 3-star class.  that alone exceeded my expectations.  I 
still say .500 and NIT and I will be thrilled, but I partly believe it could 
happen now.
