Down The Drive, a Cincinnati Bearcats community

It is very rare for a matter of time to actually be a matter of time. But just a couple hours after going on the record basically stating that a deal is imminent the deal is done. Good news for sure. I will hit on this tomorrow. For now good night to all.

One more in the list of suitors for Mick Cronin is off the board. With Lon Kruger taking the job in Norman that just leaves NC State. All eyes effectively turn to Shaka Smart.

Not much news here, not really. A week ago I brought up other schools interested in Cronin, NC State was among them. But this is now out in the open. Mike Thomas needs to ink Cronin's new contract extension or start updating his resume, one or the other.
