    Actually he MAY have to sell his house. He lives in Alexandria, KY. Don’t know what the rule is but as the HC of an Ohio state university, it might be part of the requirement to actually reside in OH.

    That would be odd since last year (2018) UC didn't even play their home games in Ohio! :)

    Can the former "CEO" of NKU make the transition to a UC that is firmly stuck in Mid-major land?

    Big school.

    Now much better facility.

    Massive uncertainty and budget pressures, resulting from football-driven P5 aspirations that most likely will remain unfulfilled.

    This will be interesting.

    I think under the circumstances UC made a really solid hire. There were likely several other good candidates, but Brannen is a quality coach in my opinion.

    Brannen currently has a decent staff with guys that gained experience at bigger D1 schools before coming to NKU, and one of his assistants was a Cronin player at Murray State and worked at UC for six seasons. Brannen employs a fairly effective defense, using some of that old VCU press system. His offense tends to spread the floor and use a wide open inside/outside game, but that might need to change with the shooters UC has currently.

    I wouldn't say any high school player knew what NKU was four years ago, so it's hard to evaluate how effective a recruiter he has been there. The results they've had mean kids in the region do recognize NKU at least now. But it's hard to say if this coach will be tougher to recruit against or not. I'd say a lot of players who were turned off by Cronin's personality are more likely going to at least listen to what UC has to say now. Their conference doesn't suck completely, and the facilities and program history are pretty hard to beat in the larger picture of D1 basketball.

    Former Bearcat Kenyon Martin is going on a Twitter rant how it is a bad hire and former players don’t support it. I hope some one screenshots these before he deletes.

    That's not what I saw. He said the hiring process was not good. I think meaning that they didn't include Van Exel in the process........

    Kinda dumb is being kind. Martin belongs in the Dimwit Hall of Fame. He has more tatoos than IQ points.

    Shannon posted one to her FB account. As someone else said, he’s upset about the process.
