Does anyone have any information about the impact this kid may have during his 1 year (probably) with our program. Lots of 5 star recruits are not that impactful because the star system is obviously based in large part on potential. So, do you think this kid will start immediately? Do you think he will be "the guy" as a freshman? Can we expect, or at least reasonably hope, that this kid will really impact the season in a way previous and dones like Lonzo/Leaf/Looney. Or is he going to merely just hold his own, put up decent stats, and move it alone to the NBA the next year.
I'm much more optimistic about seeing these highly talented kids coming to our program now than I was with the previous coach. Cronin's philosophy as a hard driving defensive minded non-spotlight sort of coach tells me a lot about a kid who is willing to come play for him. Welcome to Westwood, Peyton!
Between Jaylen Clark, Will McClendon, and Watson, Cronin is recruiting a team that's going to straight up suffocate people on defense.
Mick Cronin = two thumbs up so far.
