Cronin's first big recruit

Mick Cronin has a culture war ahead of him, but he has proven early on that he can land a big-time recruit from the west coast, a 5-star point guard from Alaska by way of Las Vegas. Cronin is famous for his "intense" coaching style and hard-nosed, physical style of play - none of which are things that have been noted in LA lately. So much remains to fall out in the new arrangement, but at least one blue chip has been reeled in - and he knew what he was getting into when he committed.
