It'd be nice to get UC to a level where they were getting blue chip recruits, but he has done a great job finding not just solid role players, but real difference makers. UC is a top 25 program and a big part of it has been his ability to identify talent. Guys like SK, Gary Clark, Jacob Evans and Jarron Cumberland are real difference makers. The big hole in his recruiting is getting the blue chip, obviously ready stud...if he got one of those every couple of years UC would be a top 10 program.

Is it quite possible that Cronin got lucky with these players. If Cuse comes calling does SK come here, if Duke or NC come calling does Clark come here, if LSU comes calling where does Evans go...Cumberland maybe comes here anyway but did OSU recruit him. Washington comes here why, nowhere else to go ?

Isn't EVERY coach lucky when they get good guys? They ALL have other choices.
