This post after a loss to a very good, top 10 team.

Think you need to re-evaluate your expectations.

Jarr, I think you need to redefine success for yourself. This is not it.

You mean...lower them? I would always hope that we should expect improvement in performance and recruiting over time, not hitting our ceiling as a legit #35-40 program nationally.

This is a down year for us, and we're a 25-30 team. What are you talking about?

Cronin has done a fine job. No other team in the AAc has been as consistently good.

This team would get killed in the Old Big East or any other respectable power conference.

The AAC is a terrible conference that except for Uconn in 2014 wins 1-2 NCAA Tournament games a year. Cronin is basically Butch Jones, he beats everybody he is suppose to yet never beats anybody great.

This is true up to this year...but with UH really coming on and UC doing what UC does, (ranked/ncaa) and you add Memphis coming on. I think the AAC will be better than the Big East most years moving forward (as long as Hurley brings UCONN back and Marshall gets WSU back).

Kind of like being the best in the MAC.

If that's all you want then you should be satisfied.

Most fans and alumni want more.

That''ll leave us in 4th place.

They won't be ranked next week. They were overrated at 25.

Where we are now is where we’ve been for the last 20 years, except in a lesser conference, and with players who aren’t a constant embarrassment.

We are fortunate to have Cronin.

Theoretically, if Mick were to take this job, who would you realistically expect UC to hire to take his place? that would be better?

I'd go hard after Dave Smart but the are other promising up and comers.

I agree Mick recruits good kids. Maybe it's Mick that is fortunate UC pays him over 2 million a year. Just sayin
