Too much effort for Mick. Lazy ass recruiter while here. He better up his game at UCLA.

I thought it was documented he was a very hard worker??

He may not have been able to land the top end talent, but I don’t ever remember hearing he was lazy.

And once you ask a girl to the prom and she says she’s not interested, do you keep asking her??

Maybe Mick spoke to him and his parents, and was told they were not interested (ultimately Micks fault) or he wanted to go away to college. What’s he to do

Jaxson Hayes said Cincinnati never contacted him. He could have been lying. If it's true, it's hard to claim that you couldn't open recruiting doors at Cincinnati if you never even bothered to knock. I think that's what is chapping everyone's ass right now especially with Mick's underhanded comments about how hard it was to recruit here since his hiring at UCLA. This could be purely anecdotal, but I am seeing a lot more Twitter activity highlighting Cincinnati offers and visits for 4 and 5 star prospects in Brannen's short tenure than what I remember from Cronin's last four or five years. Doesn't mean he's lazy, but it doesn't reflect well on his tenure that Brannen is already getting activity with high caliber recruits.
