Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[HuskyHawk]

God if we miss this will be embarrassing

It feels way too much like the slam dunk that was UConn to the ACC...until Louisville crushed our dreams

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Anyone have current inside info and still confident?

either it's done and all of this is smoke and last ditch efforts from his agent or we swung and miss on something we thought was a done deal for a while.

Google Translation: No

 

[huskyrob1]

that is the worst case scenario if Hurley doesn't sign here before Pitt signs Willard

Hurley's a done deal, that's why they jumped on Willard.

I'm in need of some reassurances from our all-knowing posters...

URI pulling out all the stops...

RHODE ISLAND LEGENDS‏Verified account @BarstoolRhody
Massive get together in support of bringing Dan Hurley back to URI tomorrow, noon at the Ryan Center? RT if you’d come support.

Desperation. FWIW apparently Fatts Russell made some comments on his Instagram Live feed that would lend you to believe Hurley is gone. He made a comment about having a work out tomorrow morning but no coach to work them out

I disagree with the premise that the state of Connecticut and it's unniversity have nothing to offer beyond basketball. I'm moderately offended by it. But that wasn't really the point. Which is finances. Connecticut's budgetary issues are very real. Which was nicely expressed by our friend from CCSU.

CT is a basket case. No doubt. Glad I no longer live there. But he was wrong. He referenced the athletics subsidy as if that comes from the CT general fund. It comes from a surcharge/fee paid by each student as I understand it.

The financial mess in which the state of CT finds itself in keeps popping it's ugly head up here, probably rightfully so.... But.....only about 12% of the coaches salary comes from the University budget, the remainder comes from The Foundation....that doesn't make paying the salary & a potential KO buyout any easier...in reality it's more of a challenge for the folks in The Foundation to be bringing in funds....just a point to throw out there that this likely won't be a major hit on state money that is allocated to UConn...but money is money Iguess....

Interesting nugget in the ProJo article, DH's agent has a new client...Pitino.

Hurley’s agent has another client we know...Randy Edsall.

Oh we tell our employees to lie when giving out "intel". Oz, Sid Wilson I, Montez Mathis, this.

We're all fools.

We have fallen for it time and time again. And yet here we are. Sigh.

... as the Boneyard is hit with an unusually greater than typical omniscience virus ...

that's why I've been nervous since we didn't close the deal yesterday when we got all the media traction

Only took us 59 pages to have this very intriguing nugget surface

 

[crazyUCfan23]

this thread shall always be remembered in boneyard history.

It is what it is. Like others have said if he wanted to be here he’d be here unless he wanted to get Pitts offer to see if UConn would come close. If he doesn’t come here then Mack would start the dominoes if he leaves for Ville

... a far more diplomatic way of saying NDakotaHusky's Central Connecticut pal was talking out of his zadek

No drugs for me.

Reality is for people who can't handle drugs.

Save us @Chief00

 

[NowInStorrs]

Connecticut has a lot more to offer than just basketball... like Mystic and the Peabody Museum.

 

[jimva]

Its more negative for Pitt right now. Hurley has had a higher comp offer from them for at least a day and has not said yes. If he had it would have leaked out by now.

Put your cups on before bed tonight. Don't want to be taken by surprise tomorrow morning by a steel toed workboot when you check your phones or flip on the radio or TV.
