Your summary of CMC's evaluation of last year's team is not consistent with my recollection (which could, indeed, be faulty). However, I recall a post game interview with Cronin last year, right at the time when Berke became eligible, where he chastised the pollsters for not including the Bruins in the preseason Top 20. Basically, Cronin said he had been coaching a long time and knew what it takes to build a successful basketball team, and that [last year's team] was going to challenge in the PAC.
Cronin clearly knows Xs and Os; his weekly meetings with the media are like clinics. However, his skill in talent evaluation and roster construction are sorely lacking
