Question is whether Brannen can recruit at a high level- 4 & 5 star recruits. We already know that Travis can.
UC really doesn't have a "brand" or rep when it comes to recruits. Mickey Mouse did a pretty good job of tamping down any image of being a fun place to play and letting people knew what he was looking for. Brannen doesn't have any of that plus uc isn't in a Conference that is too recognized. There isn much pinoche playing in an arena in Memphis for your Conference Tournament before 6,000 people. The Borecats aren't on anybody's list of "high profile programs". We'll see what happens after the group that is at Clifton leaves...and they may leave sooner than later. Cumberland isn't a sure thing to come back and Curtis still may opt out.
Amazingly, Cronin only had 1- Curtis- signed LOI for this year. Anybody he or Savino were recruiting to uc- especially California resident Kenyon Martin, Jr. aint gonna consider uc now. The string back to uc's glory days with Thuggins through Kennedy to YTG is totally broken now. This is a whole new ballgame.
There's a lot of uncertainty flying around Clifton. This truly is the end of an era.
I know it's the end of an era for me. Other than Tony Yates and Ed Badger, who were putzes, from Gale Catlett, to Thuggins, to Kennedy to Cronin, their coaches were so hateable and punchable.

Brannen already throwing shade calling UC "Cincinnati's basketball team". I dont think it will take us too long not to like him. Maybe not to the level of Mick, but all it takes is a slight or two in a Crosstown shootout press conference, or in you introductory press conference and the hate is on!

Wonder if he wants to fight JP?

Will be interesting to see what Brannen has to work with in the fall. Disaster would be if Cumberland and/or Curtis ends up playing somewhere else. Both Jenifer and Broome are gone so Curtis will probably stick and meet little resistance in grabbing a starting spot. He might try to convince Tate or Walton to transfer to Clifton. Walton especially would be a good fit. Regardless of what happens, unless they can really ratchet up their recruiting, I see X going on a 4/5 year winning streak.
