Re: Cronin II

[Jonathan Breiner]

Interesting about Downey.  I wonder why if Cronin felt he got terrible input 
from the adults around him, he was unwilling to take him back when Downey 
asked?  There were some other well-documented exceptional circumstances to 
Downey's freshman year at UC, I am surprised Mick would have passed this 
opportunity up.

More from Mick's talk:

Downey - was actually on recruiting visits at Christmas during freshman 
year - will be denied, but Cronin has great recruiting ties and that's what 
he was told, and he believes it.  Would be starting point for UC had he 
stayed, got terrible input from some adults around him, and yes, he did ask 
to come back, but by that time too late.
