Really can't judge it - we're all human, have our ways and I'm sure part of his rationale is around keeping his culture intact as a highest priority. Urban Meyer just came out with a quote regarding Hurley and how his culture of caring as much as he does about his players is what elevates all of...

I'm leaning heavily on the fact that Ross is a product of Hurley loving "good families", that he's a great kid, lives/breathes Uconn, is a cultural leader. Net net, a binky. Evidence 1.0 presented to the jury is that he brought his brother onboard. The issue is that Danny likes to win more than...

1) Rationale was funny in that he said Bob Sr doesn't have much cred on career advice having stayed at St B's all his life. Other take away, when discussing Jay Wright staying at Nova after being woo'ed by the NBA, was that he doesn't drive home thinking how much he loves Uconn as much as he...

All relative I guess

You gonna release your Venmo? You may get lots of takers that will hold you to it.

Every guy gets a padded inch?

It’s was coming - picturing 611 behind the podium saying you better mock me now, because Ross is coming.

Two for one, now that made me laugh. Is it weird to say I almost missed it? I love that he abbreviated his handle - maybe it’s a sign that he’ll abbreviate his Ross love?

I feel like a total weeny if I service anything but difficult plumbing and electrical work out to a contractor. You are only as good as your tools, that said. They're nice to accumulate over the years, as the projects come, not all at once, especially now that you can get almost anything battery...

I honestly don’t trust a thing Hurley says about Ross in practice. He was calling him a first round pick last year. Until some neutral observer witnesses some kind of “leap” where it looks like lights went on, I’m keeping him in the Hurley binky box.

lol - you beat me to it. Now he’s downplaying Furphy to justify Ross. As if we didn’t have a whole season of watching Ross, and didn’t just watch Furphy lead Oz this summer. I’m calling this a man crush.

With the first 8 pretty much set, Ross doesn’t really bring a unique skillset to the floor to justify being an oft played/needed 9th man. I really don’t even know what he does really well. Maybe something blossoms this year. At minimum Furphy brings something to the rotation that would be...

The sad aspect of this list is that UConn and Duke never play. It feels like it’s been ages at this point (2014). 9x total/ever - one rando game in the 70’s, 4 of those games in the tourney. So since that 70s matchup through today UConn has only played Duke 4x in 49 years OOC, less than once a...

Young coach with NBA bloodlines, Mormon money, recruiting has taken off, S16 in his first year. Top 7ish preseason this year. Will be producing their second top ten pick in consecutive years. More about the go forward. My chips are in that they are a top 10 program over next 5.

I’m with you, but you can frame out Houston with their KPs, territorizing the B12 and 1 seeds over a longer recent time period could make a claim, especially now that their recruiting is also shooting through the roof. Danny hasn’t done much outside the two title years would be an argument.
