Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[Paesano]

I hear Pitt has upped their offer to 6mill per year for 12 years.

RI board clarifying RI offer:

You want it, you got it.

URI offer was for 17 million over 10 years. Average 1.7 mil a year.

Practice facility....yes. More charters...yes. More $ for assts...yes....

Because he stinks at coaching

He has a better overall winning % than anyone (including PJ Carlesimo) who has coached a SH since some guy named John "Honey" Russell in the 50s. SH is not an easy place to win and they have been in the Tournament the last 2 years. For the last 40 years, SH has been downright awful most of the time. So, No, he does not stink at coaching, he recruits NYC well and is young enough to be around for awhile.

Update: We have passed the pizza thread in pageviews, and are 100 away in total replies.

We are utter maniacs.

No I didn't. But, hell, it could be true. Seems like the sky is the limit, or something.

The A10 TV deal is $5,000,000 a year.
For the ENTIRE conference.

I'm hearing it also includes 12 virgins and the Falcon Heavy.

Yeah, the FBI's noticed.

That's gotta give him something to think about. They went higher than I thought they could.

Can someone check in after visiting any local donut shops that they haven't seen Athletic Director...Dave monitoring anything?

Practice facility, when? Year 9 of his 10 year deal???

Unless you reprimand a fan, then you're thrown in The Hole.

That could actually work in our favor. It'd seem that short of staying at URI, a lot of the positives are in our corner.

Oy. Would you guys please, PLEASE stop thinking these fools know ANYTHING. They don't. They are just spouting nonsense from their own imaginations.

You could easily preface every single one of these tweets with "Hmmm.... well, here's what I imagine is happening..."

I mean, seriously, he's "hearing" this from whom, exactly ? Hurley's family ? Don't think so.

RI board clarifying RI offer:

how are they going to get the money from all that?

Edit: and when will the facility be done?

True, though outside of his contract there's a lot of promises there. UConn already has charters, already has the top notch practice facility, already offering more $ per year, is in driving distance of his family's current home in RI, in driving distance of his parents in NJ...

LOL! At this point, these coaches will be getting contracts worth more than a falcon heavy launch!

For most of the Twitterverse, yes. But Borges is a real journalist with real connections. Jacobs and Borges have sources, but it sounds like nobody really knows.

How does Hurley feel about Newport? Better yet you west coast guys need to have an opinion on Newport. Newport, Newport, Newport.

You sound angry bro. Breathe.

I just can't see why he would ask URI for practice facilities. How does he know he will be there by the time they are done?

Reason#340234938240938 to doubt this flood of sources: earlier source said they match our deal in terms of total value, but over 10 years instead of 5.

The means we offered $17M over 5, or $3.4M a year...

I think for URI, there should have been movement after last year's NCAA tournament to work towards practice facility/charter/money for assistants. I'm hopeful that it's a little too late for them.

So much potential for this tweet if only that dawg was a Husky...
