Per Source (@Rydadge, same guy who had Edsall hire correct): "Hurley to UConn is a done deal. "

Definitely an insider.

Pretty close. It a 2012 Saxum

It's a toss up if Hurley visited this thread whether he'd consider UConn fans passionate fans and want to come to Storrs or neurotic fans that he should at all costs avoid.

This is approaching The Decision.

"LeBron can't possibly be going on live TV to announce that he's leaving Cleveland. He wouldn't rub it in Cleveland's face like that."

"LeBron can't possibly be going on live TV to announce he's staying in Cleveland. What would be the point of all that pomp and circumstance?"

"Lebron is def going to the NYK since he is announcing in a greenwhich CT."

I hate him

Some did say Hurley and Edsall have the same agent. If the source has an in with the agent they might be right.

That said, the fun isn't going to stop yet.

You know you can leave a tab open on twitter, and all the new tweets will populate there.

yes but technically I'm at work. I've already got my non-work related tab open (boneyard)

DB is a very good AD. Being able to reel in or not reel in Hurley will not change my opinion about DB

I've heard this a many times on the BY. What makes DB such a great AD? Is it that he does his job? What has he done that gives him a bit of a lofty status on the BY?

 

[Jimdish255]

If all of these rumors are true and the Hurley team is trying to play multiple schools against each other we need to keep shopping. I'm mentally backing off. This isn't an ego thing it's a business decision and we need plans B, C, and D.

We're offering a lot and we expect a lot. If they want to stay in a comfortable but limited situation then fine, we move on because he's not ready.

I don't care if this is an unpopular opinion, but if he doesn't pick UConn and stays at URI I will look at URI with an insatiable amount of disdain going forward.

Try TweetDeck - it's a game changer.

Didn't we just find out that Edsall and Hurley have the same agent?

I feel like the sentiment about DB's greatness hinges on this hire right here. We'll see how great he is by locking down Hurley

I was not really sold on Hurley being the next coach, but this thread has me rooting for it now.. I wan’t UCONN Basketball to win!!! Even if it’s a competition for a head coach I am not in love with..

Just a Win !!!! The Huskies need to feel good for a change after the last few years.

I went out to a coffee shop and had a conversation for over two hours, never looking at the yard. Thought for sure this would be over once I got back home...nope.

 

[Dove]

I leave work at 4.

I am now asking anyone to go home with me so they can read the Yard aloud while I drive.

Rhode Island could pay for everything Hurley wants with ease.

Eliminate the football program.

That has been a constant debate on KeanyBLue forums. Unlike Maine, which sends many players to the NFL and CFL, URI football has had something like 3 winning seasons in 30 years.
Apparently there is a strong club hockey team and they want to replace the Football team with D-1 hockey, with sights set on Hockey East.
Many football alumni basically say "over my dead body"

What is "sailing?"

Yeah. I'm old.

Given the leak of confidence Monday and still no announcement...could they be holding off until they have a settlement with KO?

I'm back to thinking he picks us.

Pitt is too much upheaval for his family, even at that price; and them playing games by floating Miller and others tells me they don't think they are getting him.

URI has stepped up to the plate more than I thought they would or could, and I'm sure that caused some serious contemplation. But after reportedly dreaming of greener and greater pastures at UConn for a while now, I can't see him choosing to stay and envisioning going back to the same ol', same ol' that he has presumably been working to rise above for years.

Of course, we're still doomed.

This is brutal. Come on. Strap one on Danny Boy.

Yeah, I've seen basically nothing so far. Signed a bad contract with Ollie (not the monetary extension, but the huge buyout provision). Fired a dud in Diaco. Hired the old coach back. Messy split with Ollie (made the right move to let him go probably, I'll give him that).

And now he's going publically all in on ONE candidate.

What else has he done?

I think our administration still feels good about it. That's why I'm worried.
