Re: 3rd Year With 100% His Own Recruits

Tom-

I agree with you basic presumption (I think it is what you are saying) that
Cronin can't really be judged until 2010.  Still, it's somewhat depressing
to know that the program was in such bad shape that we have to wait 3 more
years before we can realistically really hope that the program will be back
where it needs to be.  I can't stand watching all of these post season games
knowing that UC is sitting at home!
