In Reply to: Arkansas now has #1 recruiting class... posted by ClockBlocker on April 27, 2026 at 10:35:39
Mick is corrosive to recruiting. You can point to the handful of good players he's brought in, but as has been pointed out ad nauseum, UCLA gets these guys simply by virtue of being UCLA. Happens at UNC, Kentucky and Kansas too. Guys will always want to play at these schools regardless of who the coach is. This has never been more true than it has at UCLA under Cronin.
But when you get the right guy at UCLA, or even someone who's halfway competent and professional like Alford or Lavin, we get top classes every year. That's how it's gone historically.
