Re: top 12 programs (who cares?)

[Keith Wedinger]

Going forward, Coach Cronin is not handcuffed and I would argue that he
wasn't beforehand either.  Handcuffed to me  means that he is limited to
recruiting only certain types of players.  I don't believe this is the case.

I will agree that he was put at a significant disadvantage in his first year
because of the very short time he had to recruit players and build a
roster.  Going forward, this will no longer be an issue.

In years to come, he will be able to fully exploit not only the benefits of
being in the Big East but also the benefits of Varsity Village which has
been referred to by those outside UC as one of the finest athletics
facilities in the country.
