Hurley, Martin, Matta, Crean

[tcf15]

Those are the four candidates, per Borges.

Apparently Martin, Matta and Crean have been in contact with UConn, but Hurley is at the top of the list. Calhoun is the fallback option if UConn misses on all targets.

Awesome!

Why do I feel like this article is just a summary of Boneyard threads for the past week?

 

[AdamaNation]

That’s a bit concerning. Anyone else. We better pray for duke now I guess. I just don’t know if I can. Based on principal. His BROTHER played with CHRISTIAN LAETTNER!! That’s asking a lot. But. Oh well. He better win like 20 titles in the next 3 years!!!

 

[uconnphil2016]

I'd rather have Crean than Matta or Martin

This seems pretty solidly sourced.

Not just rumor.

 

[August_West]

That is a really, really disappointing list.

Hurley I can get on board with.

The rest NO WAY.

The list would be better if it was :
1)Hurley
2)Calhoun
3)Keep KO

Thats how sad that list is.

Borges certainly reads the boneyard, but he isn't using it as his source.

With so many people here throwing crap against the wall, some of it will, just by pure accidence, be somewhere near the truth.

 

[walkrightier]

I would love Hurley or Martin, be fine with Crean, but I would not be crazy about Matta.

 

[RoderickSpode]

I agree, and only makes it that much more critical that we land Hurley.

 

[Guapo]

These are the four biggest names out there right now.

The fact that UConn is in on all four of them shows the health and vitality of the program.

Anyone not happy about that...I dunno what to tell ya

 

[Walker11]

Hurley looks good in that his track record is shorter so he doesn't have any comparable blemishes yet and he is likely my #1 of the group but I am not confident he is a better coach than any of the above. They are all fine coaches but I am really hoping for a wild card.

Dont want a coach with serious health issues. We desparately need stability

There is no scenario where Calhoun should even be a candidate.

Matta's a great coach if he's healthy; he's not.

Crean's a good coach, but his connections are midwestern.

Martin shouldn't be on this list.

Looks like it's Hurley or bust.

 

[boog204]

Would've liked to see another young(er) name on that list. Begging for Hurley out of that crew.

 

[Cuse Socks]

1)Hurley
2)Crean
3)Matta
4) Martin

I love JC , I dont want him to have to do this, but if it isnt Hurley and comes down to the other 3 I make JC a 1-2 year steward until we can pull a coach in here.

The article says Matta isn't interested.

So its:

1) Hurley
2) crean
3) martin

All sources pointing toward hurley being the guy.

 

[Block C]

I like that list

If Matta was fully healthy, he’d be a great catch. His comments the other day would make me very skeptical of that being the case.

Frank Martin is a great defensive coach, but the guy just can’t recruit to save his life. K State and South Carolina aren’t easy places to recruit to, but yikes he brings in very little talent.

 

[djct1999]

Yes! hmm, ok i guess, no, HELL NO!

His records aren't impressive either. He had a great great run last year in the NCAAs, but meh.

My concern as well
