BOL Yarin, chase your dreams young man. Thanks for choosing UConn

Does the coaching staff encourage some of these guys to transfer or outright tell them theres not enough room for them? Would seem like a real hard spot to be in breaking that news to a kid.

I think they're just honest about PT, and what it takes to earn more

I think kids believe they can win time when they sign, all of them. And when they realize they might not crack the rotation, they decide to move

Dan is a player's coach.. He's energetic.. Honest.. A straight-shooter.. Passionate about the game.. Invested in his guys improving and meeting their goals/his goals for them.. At the conclusion of the season.. Player meetings are held about next steps.. areas of improvement in off season to focus on.. incoming classes and competition for minutes at their positions, etc. Should portal be an option??

A time for honest -straight communication .. Depending on the player's situation.. They are either easy or challenging discussions. Dan/staff will have those conversations with their guys out of respect for the commitment they've made to his Program.. Its the right thing to do..

We had a break through season this year.. Some guys hit it out of the park and earned the right to move on.. Have a Top 5 recruiting class coming in filled with alphas.. Portal adds to consider. We've come a long way in the Hurley Years.

And Im sure guys like Hasson are 1 year deals as others have mentioned. But other than that, Hurley isn’t forcing guys off the team, think a clear example of that has been Richie springs the past few years.

Solid list

That's a really solid list. Must have come with a solid recommendation from our coaching staff.

I was thinking about this yesterday. How much involvement does Hurley have when a player opts to transfer?

I would think as much as the player asks for. Most of the portal activity to date seems to be cordial. I see that list and all I can say is the brand looks strong right now.

 

[McLovin]

My guess is Colorado State since he was planning to go to Denver before that fell apart and ended up at UConn…

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Hasson now has offers from Southern Indiana (OVC) and Campbell, who is moving to the CAA next season.

Go Fighting Camels!

Top-10 caliber baseball team this year (just like us!)

Also the landing spot of former UConn football's Mason Donaldson

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Why hasn’t CCSU offered?
Actually, I hope the kid joins Springs at Quinnipiac.

First year as a D1 team if I'm not mistaken. His practice experience this year will help him a lot

 

[Umami Zen]

Great spot for him to grab some PT.. Wish him well..

 

[Shamon30]

Goid luck YH and thanks for everything!

 

[REB1094]

Congrats and best of luck to Yarin! If anybody can find a way to watch some USI games live next year, please do share

 

[SportsFan88]

Rock out!

 

[3rdbass]

Good luck to him there too like other said. He will always be an NCAA champion and as many as Jim Boeheim. LOL!

First, kids know where they are in the pecking order. They practice or scrimmage all the time and like any other sports team, players know where they fit. It’s not hard for a guy like Springs to look at where he is in relation to getting playing time and knowing that he can either commit to being a practice guy or transfer. Most will transfer now.

Second, in this instance, I think this was understood to be a one year deal for both sides.
