Craig Brackins in town

13 year revival. That might be a record.

Yeah, although I kind of hate it when I think I'm reading page one of a current thread only to discover later that it's 13 years old.

Brackins was a heralded Cyclone recruit when Cyclone basketball was in a dark place. Please refresh my memory. Greg McDermott helm Era?

At the time, I think he was like the 2nd highest rated ever after Fizer. Top 50 guy for sure. I'd say he lived up to his ranking. He was a stud and became a 1st round pick. We just sucked the whole time he was here.

Totally agree. Pretty sure he dropped 40 or more on Kansas too. That was when we had Diante Garrett and pretty much no one else. Huluska was supposed to be a stud, and yeah... we sucked.

Whatever happened to his lead recruiter?

Last 3 years of McD. Turned pro when Fred took the job, which was probably the right idea, but picturing him on Fred's first team is always a good time. Probably a tourney team if he stayed.

I thought someone hacked my account.

Also the McDremott era that when we were supposed to be so giddy to have Chris Colvin remember?? He was supposed to walk on water while in Cardinal & Gold.

I’ll never forget the game he put up 42 on KU. They couldn’t do a thing to stop him and yet the Clones still were lucky to keep it around 20

Were probably lucky to have him as long as we had him. He could have (and probably should have) left a year earlier.

We’re probably lucky to have him as long as we had him. He could have (and probably should have) left a year earlier.

But if he hadn’t stuck around we wouldn’t have had the false hope 09-10 season. Can’t put a price on those memories

100%. A lot of close losses that would have been wins.

Kind of funny though how that year somehow contains one of our 5 ever road wins against a top 5 team.. and then we couldnt beat anyone else other than NU\CU in conference.

Very good player, unfortunately was a victim of subpar coaching.

Man, just start a new thread. Don’t go digging up decade old ones.
