Hurley Article on next years roster

[fatlucy]

I agree with this 100%. I think Hurley has a plan in place personnel wise.

I just wish he'd share it. I'm dying to know his recruiting strategy and progress. I imagine he's got to be all over it to land one or two impact payers.

Point Guards not committed - Probably late but maybe the new Coach resurrecting a blue blood sales pitch works.

Brandon Williams - Brandon Williams, Crespi, Point Guard

Courtney Ramey - Courtney Ramey, Webster Groves, Point Guard

Akinjo - James Akinjo, Salesian, Point Guard

Did you watch the games at all? Coaching had little or nothing to do with why he's a ball stopping machine you people need to get that crap out of your head. He is just that because he can't pass, can't dribble and isn;t a very good basketball player. He lost his athleticism we saw at VCU obviously and is a rail thin stand up shooter and that's it. He puts little to no effort into defending anyone and any time he tried they left his standing there holding his jock. He wasn't awful he was dreadful one of the absolute worst defenders we've ever seen, it really is that simple. Add to that he's a TO machine and you guys want him back to waste a schools we may need for many other vital areas? Crazy

Not for nuttin, but the above indicates that he's delusional, as well. Play basketball? Professionally? UConn BB and/or putting his degree to work might be his only alternatives. Maybe some new advisors?

Wonder if its worse to be a moran or moron. Tough for a casual fan to know.

That’s awesome, thanks for the laugh.

Moran is not a word.

Give it a few years and it will be a word, meaning too stupid to know you're stupid. Moran is the Dunning-Kruger effect in action.

My blood pressure cannot take another season of Larrier. Top priority should be the returning 10 guys, 2 incoming guys, and rerecruiting Akinjo. With that, there’s the 13 schollies.

Yeah, best for everyone that he moves on. There really isn't anything more he can learn in college and we can't afford for him to not learn it.

When he is playing for a paycheck he will either fix the holes in his game or he won't be playing for pay.

Did you see this irrefutable proof?

[tzznandrew]

Why is Hurley not contacting/meeting Akinjo? His family has liked several Twitter posts about that subject. There is a point guard who could be had if Hurley pursued

How do we know he hasn't contacted them?

Uh, may I humbly suggest that a one year turnaround is not in sight. IMHO, the object for this year is to demonstrate that we will be playing UConn basketball again (i.e., tenacious defense, the ability to strike in transition, and a disciplined half court). Once people see what DH is doing then he might get some of the quality high school juniors and sophomores interested in the program. Right now DH needs guys who will but into his way and not deviate from it. The quality on hand is minimal. Hopefully it will garner an NIT bid and history repeats itself.

When you are Larrier's height and can score fairly well, it is not that hard to get a spot on a pro roster somewhere. Larrier will play professional basketball... somewhere. Boo Willingham averaged 1 point a game at UConn and played professionally for many years.

The article originally said something like: "Matthews and Kisunas are the two committed recruits, and Hurley will reach out to them shortly. James Akinjo has decommitted and is getting home visits from...yada yada"

Looks like it was updated.

AS? Hurley better have a much better PG lined up to allow his brother to take our only recruit that has any UCONN level of skill.

 

[TRest]

Is it standard practice to document all the coaches making home visits? I bet K wouldn't pose for a picture, if he was there.

I bet he would. Coaches look to establish bonds with kids, no matter who they are. To refuse taking a photo with a recruit would send the wrong message in my opinion.

It is on the Boneyard

I see that.

It started on the Cesspool. Long standing joke.

Never been there, it sounds like a seedier and much more random version of the BY.

It is mostly politics. Good to stay away.
