"it seems a clear majority of players agrees it is an issue"
Well, maybe a clear majority of the vocal few.

"What's ok? Signing somebody?"
Top one, two or three classes in the conference.

"this time I can scout the hell out of the recruits pool [in session two].. Nothing left worth signing."
A pretty good clue to insufficient preparation on session one.

I was not in session one Spud. I took on Penn State in D1... I could not prepare

I have addressed changing jobs elsewhere, in this morning's poll thread to be precise.

BTW, “just look at that slimeball from Cincinnati's little tantrums about that other slimeball from Kentucky "stealing" his recruits.” And from the same self-righteous post: “word choice is classless and sophomoric.” (not zorzii's post)

I guess you would know classless and sophomoric.

Spud : I give up. Nice talking to you.

Slimeball offended you? Sorry man, totally trying to be funny as an old school big east guy. Cronin is a slimeball according to anyone who isn't a Cinci fan from his time there (and really even many of them). And Calapari? His reputation speaks for itself as the slimiest of slimy (as evidenced by all his vacated wins from, well, being a slimeball in recruiting, falsifying academics, and pretty much breaking every rule there is as a head coach). Pretty big difference between calling someone a slime-ball and invoking rape like you did. But, you know, semantics, right?

You have yet to respond to anything else from my post. I raised points that you have cowered away from. I am honestly eager to hear a logical response to them.

From your lack of response I can see only one logical conclusion. You, CoachSpud, are actually Mick Cronin. I can see how you would be greatly offended by what I wrote. Recounting some of your most embarrassing behaviors and public defeats so the world can again mock and deride you when all you wanted was to be treated as an equal to Kentucky despite never having accomplished anything significant in your field. No postseason wins, no draft picks, nothing to your name except the deep deep shame of having been humiliated on the national stage for crying about losing to a superior foe. All of your posts now make sense. You are a champion of the downtrodden, a hero of those who finish second. You, Mick Cronin, are the one who stands up for those who fear competition, those who cower from a challenge, those who just want a trophy to take home regardless of what the plaque says.

I am sorry, CoachSpud--I mean CoachCronin. Everyone now knows that you have been trolling the Hoops Dynasty boards, trying to legitimize your hope of a non competitive environment while secretly looking for answers as to how to make Cincinnati a successful program. I know you are desperately seeking some information that could propel you into something beyond your current standing as quiet joke, whispered between your peers at players camps and coach's conventions. I am sorry CoachSp....I mean CoachCronin, and I hope that someday you will learn the ability to listen to others. Someday you will succeed because of merit, instead of crying for help because life is unfair. You will never be the coach of a Kentucky, but by god, my good man, you will-----someday------I swear------be the coach of a Gonzaga if you can learn to listen to your peers.

There is hope, there is a chance, even UMass is within your grasp!!!!!!

Hilarious. so good.

Well, let’s see, shall I reply to your utterly classless post and self-righteous double down on it? Aw, what the hell, classless seems to be about par for a lot of people in these threads. Here, have it your way:

“This is ridiculously out of line with how recruiting works in the real world.”
Um, this is HD, not real world, last time I looked. I address playability – it trumps real world concerns.

“The major fault with your entire position on recruiting is you start from the assumption that all schools should be/are on equal standing and should have all their efforts treated equally. “
Not only have I never said any such thing, I don’t agree with that at all.

That addresses your whole post. Happy?

The board is much better when you utilize the ignore function...

1) cmon man, even my wife thought that was funny. (She wants to know what's up with the spud guy with a stick up his.....)

2) there was nothing classless or sophomoric from my first reply. If you think Calipari isn't a slimeball then I have a bridge in Brooklyn at a great price....today only special price.

3) you cant hide anymore Mr. Cronin, you will learn no secrets from us.

4)lots of classy people think my posts were totally classy and wicked awesome, so learn to laugh, love, and maybe someday coach.
