Re: Alvin Mitchell is a Bearcat

[dfairchild]

Pete,

Thanx for the cheer.  Now could you put a little substance to your post?

What are you expectations?  How does this recruiting class exceed them?

What makes this recruiting class "great"?

It's odd because I see more questions than answers.  Given the two greatest
needs - a 5 and a pg, this class comes up empty so far.

> From what I read, it is not clear that everyone in this class will be suited
up come Midnight Madness.

So given those expectations - 1) we would recruit to meet needs and 2) we
recruit players who will be good student athletes, it is not clear how good
this class is or will be.

Finally, before you shift the debate - note, I did not say anything about
Cronin's ability to recruit.  The focus of this thread is the class that we
have.  So, let's leave aside any distracting responses, and focus on the
quality of the class.

I look forward to your constructive, well reasoned, and substantial
response.

Some say that I'm a downer, I think this demonstrates I'm an optimist.

Go Cats!
DF

Once again.... Mick Cronin has gone above and beyond
my expectations. He did an amazing job putting
together a competitive team this year and is now
putting the finishing touches on another great
recruiting job. There aren't many young, beginning
head coaches out there that could have recruited to a
decimated program the way Cronin has been able.
