UC foe better than its record

[Bull94]

Mac's top 3 scorers last year were Seth recruits.   :-/

I think anyone who knows anything knows Seth was a better recruiter than Mac is so the talent was there.

The only thing Cinci's coach did differently was not kicking every talented player off the team because he had a hair out of place.  

And don't kid yourself.  Cincy was in disarray last season as evidenced by our win over them.  

Cincinnatti was hardly in disarray last year. they finished 25-8 and lost to Kentucky in the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney. They have 4 seniors on the team that are in their top 6 scorers this year.

To compare the job these coaches are doing is ridiculous. How about if we compare the way the coaches are performing compared to their own programs histories?

According to Brett:

USF has won exactly one conference championship (Sun Belt) and zero NCAA Tournament games, while Cincinnati has won two national titles, has made six Final Four appearances and won 26 conference titles.

Complain about the coaches and players all you want but the primary responsibility of this programs success, or lack of, falls on the shoulders of the alumni and donors who do/do not support it.

Who cares about how many championships either team has won, or how many tourney games they've been to? That doesn't mean squat.  By your logic, Cincy's football team should be much better than ours because they've been to more bowl games.    

Cincy also has the same number of players on their team, playing for an interim head coach.  Mac is a third year coach who still has not had one winning season despite inheriting some darn good players from the prior coach.  This INTERIM coach for Cincy has a .500 club despite losing out on many good recruits due to Huggins' firing..  Again, a team that was in disarray at the end of last season.

The history of a program has alot to do with the type of recruits you bring in. If this were not the case then Dougherty could bring as heralded recruits to FAU as he did to UNC.

Cincy also has 5 seniors and 2 juniors that played a signifigant role in getting them to the 2nd round of the NCAA's last year.

Not only that but I believe I heard on the broadcast last night that they have the Mr Basketball from Kentucky last year as well as Virginia and Ohio. Some have been dismissed due to gun charges and **** charges though.

I guess that is where you get the disarray from??Huggins players being arrested??

Their freshman 3rd leading scorer was a huggins recruit that was Mr Basketball from Kentucky last year. He is the only top 8 scorer that isn't  a junior or senior from last years team.

By the way, I don't think the players Seth left were any where near as good as some of the teams he couldn't  get to the NCAA tourney with, or beat a top 25 team with ,or beat Cincy with all in CUSA in 7 years. and they certainly weren't as good as the players huggins left this year !!

Would you consider our team in disarray if we went 25-8 and lost in the 2nd round of NCAA's to Kentucky? Or if we had Mr Kentucky bball player on the team as a freshman this year? Hardly

He would if Mac was the coach .....
