Maybe there isn't any money available? Maybe Cronin doesn't want to go to the donor well again afraid of wearing them out? Maybe he is so positive about Jovic that he doesn't feel the need to look any further for another center? What we don't know about any of this is a lot.
But as you mentioned, the Bruins need help. I can't believe Cronin doesn't see this. What if Jovic doesn't pan out or gets injured? What if Floyd needs a lot of work and isn't going to contribute significantly for awhile? What if Booker stagnates or gets injured?
I think Cronin has been around long enough and is savvy enough to know all of this and I think he is indeed looking to get another 5. He never said he isn't looking. I think he's just playing his cards close to the vest. He knows he may not be able to bring in anybody given the vagaries and machinations of the portal culture. And also he may not be able to raise the money needed to successfully compete for coveted players.
All of this must be exhausting and not a little bit frustrating. I think right now it's got to be tough to be a college coach. Maybe Tony Bennett had it right?
