Goodbye 20 point blowouts.

Hello postseason.

 

[JMick]

Pumped. Now get Lecque & Copeland and we're going dancing

Hurley gets it. Really loving the start to his tenure.

Repost: This is a pretty sweet staff. The resumes of these guys are really strong.

The emphasis on strong recruiting AND player development (actual coaching) is in stark contrast to the previous staff. And I liked those guys.

Hurley locks down the Eastern Seaboard as planned. So far, everything Hurley mentioned as a priority, things he said he would do, he's done.

Heck, we even got 'continuity' and 'family' with Tom Moore, for the guys who are into that. I do think it's a nice bridge to the past, and helps Hurley navigate the transition.

This staff is killer.

Tremendous hire. Excited to see what he can do with our front court.

When will the rest of the admin staff be official?

 

[awfuldan]

Sick. Stoked on this.

Borges was on top of this one. Credit to him!

 

[Urcea]

great hire, love having a kind of super-staff to rebuild the brand...Hurley is bringing the goods

Welcome to UConn Country, coach Hunter!

 

[LIuconn]

Good lord how -backwards were things over the last 5 years?

 

[UConnStats]

Really hope he brings Copeland with him so we have one proven scorer in the frontcourt.

This looks like an awesome hire! Hurley is so focused. He knows where we can draw the most talented recruits from for us and he's focusing on excellent recruiters for those areas. And one is also a proven and successful bigs coach too? This just keeps getting better & better...love what he's doing!

 

[The Funster]

Hurley is on a mission. He's put together a really good staff. Wow.

 

[tcf15]

Ok check back in a week and this will be the staff unless there adding more people

Well done @Matrim55 w/ the head’s up last night!

Have heard from a few folks it'll be Kenya Hunter from Nebraska. He's from NoVa, was instrumental in building those good Georgetown teams last decade, and seems to fit the bill for what we need.

Good hire if it's actually him.

EDIT: And it looks like it's spilling out from Nebraska's side of things already:

 

[Chief00]

Quite frankly, lots of good news.

One thought I had, is this part of a master plan? to either go back to the BE for MBB or position us as an East Coast footprint for another conference? I know it’s all about football but just some idle speculation. .

Unless there adding more people which they did. Everyone else I mentioned is getting hired.
