BRO their NIL collective is stacked. How do you think they “bought” all those players. Obviously the vibes are great if the fans are supporting the team.

There’s no defensible argument that Muss is a better coach than Cronin. That’s an insane statement.

You guys don't know anything about UCLA. UCLA fans love Mick and can't wait for the season to start and whip some BIG 10 butt.

Dawg who said nobody believes in Cronin anymore. Literally all ucla fans feel great about him and forgot about last year after what he’s done in the portal this year and raised them to a top 5 NIL program. Mussleman is not anywhere near Cronin’s caliber either as a coach and I laughed in the beginning when you said that it’s been up and down during his era. It’s been all up since they hired him and last year was a down year after replacing all of the roster which was a championship caliber team if Bona and Clark didn’t get hurt. But please keep yapping about how greatness other big ten coaches are that consistently get knocked out in the first round

Exactly, we literally lost all of our starters (except Bona) before the start of last season so the rebuilding year was expected. We went to the final four 3 years ago nobody is calling for Mick’s head, these dudes don’t know shit 😂

100% agree....Cronin is a top 5 coach in the NCAA & his coaching style lends to more NBA ready players. The one host is certainly mistaking Cronin's grit for volatility. His approach to the game and his players is a constant..."never" waivers as it shouldn't, & which the large/well-funded UCLA base supports. He "always" expects 100% team effort & accountability, which you need for real world success in the NBA or elsewhere. Moving forward, UCLA/Cronin should attract more gritty players who want to succeed in the NBA. The last thing UCLA wants are talented but entitled players who have thin skin & can't handle accountability...they can all go to Kentucky. This is a new era for UCLA basketball under Cronin's leadership. He is striving to get back to what UCLA had under Wooden (Cronin's role model/idol). Should be a very bright future for the blue & gold. Get ready Big Ten...

@ Uncutslots exactly! And if he was so hated by the players they would be leaving in mass exodus in this day and age. The ones that left only left because they were recruited over and scholarship/PT wasn’t available. Berke left because he got Bilideou and Dailey and returned Williams, vide left because of Skyy and Harris, illane left because of no time, and Bona decided to go pro. All the guys who stayed in college that would project to play: Andrews, lazar, Mack, Mara all decided to come back and guys like Mack and stefanovich, and even Brandon williams(starters from last year) decided to return while likely accepting the fact that they will not be starters next year and will be in heavy competition to get legit minutes.just a dumb narrative that the top guy just doesn’t seem to understand and yet he is so opinionated about the matter. Atleast Carter isnt pretending to be the expert of something he doesn’t know about

Coach Mick's public criticism of his players could be interpreted as "throwing them under the bus." Could also be seen as coach being honest in his assessment, taking no prisoners in his pursuit of excellence. They are not children; they're pros.

UCLA is stacked! Dominick Harris and Mara are going to surprise. Bilodeau and Johnson ALL-Big 10. Andrews 2nd team. FOTY Perry.

@justinsavino2599 Ай бұрын

Lol about Musselman better than Cronin. Meshing these players and keeping everyone happy will be tough. They will finish in the top 5 of conference.

@ecat7750 2 ай бұрын

Vibes? Having 8 freshman. Fans love Mick. Recruits want to go to UCLA now with NIL. Nobody wanted to leave players love Mick

Adem Bona was the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year last year, not Kobe Johnson. Bona was also the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year before that.

I have never spoken to anyone that “doesn’t believe in Cronin” and I follow this team very closely. I also don’t know anyone that says Cronin “throws players under the bus.” The fact that no player actively wants to leave UCLA unless they lose playing time or test NBA waters is testament that the overall culture is strong. Love the video overall, just these two points were off a bit.

Please do Louisville again. Those guys need to fix their grade for leaving and returners.

@LeagueDreams Ай бұрын

Ilane and Berke are both gonna go off. DA better keep his spot at the 1. Everyone else can go to the bench but I’m sure Lazar will still get minutes

@christianfernandez3068 2 ай бұрын

As a Louisville fan, I wish Skyy Clark the best at UCLA. He’s a really talented player, and he definitely will help UCLA a lot, and he’s back in LA, where he grew up at

No offense, but it's pronounced A-Dye.

Great video, you're both very insightful. Go Green

Please do not ever comment on the vibes of what UCLA nation thinks of Mick Cronin. You are completely off when it comes to us alumni not believing in him.
