Subject: Recruiting

Does anyone else think that a problem here could be Andy Kennedy, UC's recruiting coach. Mick Cronin used to get guys like Martin, D'Juan Baker, Logan, Mickeal, and many others who were great talent, but extremely hard workers and coachable guys. All leaders too, I might add. Kennedy is recruiting guys like Bobbitt and Hicks, (both of whom seem lazy and already quit the team once) and now we are relying Robert Whaley who seems like a huge gamble. I give him props for Jamar Butler, but Butler seemed to always be destined to want to be a Bearcat, not just because Kennedy recruited him. I also think that the loss of assistant coach Rod Baker from 1999-2000 season hurts a lot also. What is the word out there on this stuff?

I think Steve Logan sealed the deal for Jamar Butler. 1. UC is within the state for Butler 2. Butler likes hardnosed style of play - tough kid 3. He saw a PG (Logan) that had control of the team and the ability to score at will with the greenlight 4. Butler is considered to have more tools than Logan - could be better depending on how hard he works 5. Very good playmaker, hopefully UC will have guys to make plays.

Rod Flowers, Derek Hollman, BJ Grove all belong to Mick Cronin. What have they done for us? (NT) -- JJ Powers, 14:40:09 02/19/03 Wed

- Donald Little did. Was he recruited by Kennedy? (NT) -- JJ Powers, 08:32:47 02/20/03 Thu
- Overall, Cronin got better players (on and off the court) than Kennedy. Yes there are exceptions, such as Donald (NT) -- Dan Meyer, 10:43:20 02/20/03 Thu
  - You are forgetting all the players like Johnny Carson that Cronin recruited, but did not make it here. We could afford not to take them back then, before the 5/8 rule. (NT) -- JJ Powers, 15:08:05 02/20/03 Thu
    - Johnny Carson was recruited way before Cronin was the man. He was still the video coordinator then, and you couldn't just revoke scholarships for no reason, Carson was unhappy with the team and transferred on his own accord. Huggins even tried to persuade him to stay. Besides, we are discussing the type of character of the players, not just the talent level. (NT) -- Dan Meyer, 20:35:29 02/20/03 Thu
