My take on UCLA is different. Cronin recruited very well and UC and I think he’ll do even better at UCLA. It would not surprise me to see the Bruins in the top ten going forward, until Cronin leaves or retires.
I have heard that he and Sampson are buds in the off season, play golf and such. I would like to see a UH - UCLA OOC game regularly. Something in late December as a nice pre-conference Christmas present.
