Episode 414 - UCLA's Mick Cronin
Listen now
Description
UCLA's Mick Cronin has a brand-new challenge with lots of foreign appeal as the Bruins lost over 80% of its scoring from last season. Will an influx of talent from abroad be the answer to getting back to a Final Four? What can we expect from big man, Adem Bona? Is Dylan Andrews the next quintessential guard at UCLA? Just how good is their incoming class of freshman and how much will they need to rely on them this season? Why we can expect to see a lot of "big man ball" from the Bruins. Why he's enjoying the team attitude. Thoughts on playing the last season in the historic Pac-12. Why he believes the true measure of a coach is the ability to bridge drills at practice into the games. And what are realistic expectations and the biggest keys to UCLA again being a tough out in late February and March? Plus, a recap of Jon's visits to Florida Atlantic, Miami and Syracuse.
