'Get Me The Biggest Vodka-Drinking Eastern European Who Used To Fight Bears' - Mick Cronin's New Recruiting Plan So UCLA Can Win In The Big 10 Is Perfect

Goddamnit, Mick. The moment I start to get a little bit annoyed with all his complaining and whining, he pulls me right back in. This is why we need a camera and mic in front of Mick at all times. He doesn't care what he says or who he pisses off, it's something he's always done. But now he has a strategy. He knows the NBA All Star Game is coming to Los Angeles, knows he can probably find a loophole in the rule book and knows what he wants.

A vodka-drinking Eastern European who used to fight bears. That's the sort of guy that needs to play for Mick. It's basically this, but not as happy: 

If Brad Underwood can come out and put together a whole Balkan lineup at Illinois surely Cronin get do something similar. I want to see Mick recruiting in Estonia and putting down some homemade vodka with the parents to land a kid at UCLA. That's how you win in the Big 10. It does remain insane that UCLA is in the Big 10. It remains even more insane that Mick Cronin is made to coach in the Big 10 but not at all made to coach at UCLA. It's the dumbest fit in all of sports, get Mick back to a Midwest school where he belongs. 

Either way. Line up the vodka, line up the bears. Mick needs to send his assistants to LA and figure out what guys fit the mold. You know a pissed off Eastern European would love a pissed off Mick. It's the only emotion he knows and shows. Get them together, get UCLA back to the promise land.
