Personally I think on offense Hurley ups the tempo. He has very capable shooters as starters and reserves. They will get into their offense quicker and try to find the open shooter more deliberately. They will also utilize their increased athleticism. I think there is more of an emphasis on...
“La Bamba” is not a Dominican song. If they played merengue o bachata ok. This reeks of “all Spanish are Mexican” thinking. I’m married to a Dominican so I know not all Spanish make “tacos”. I think this shows that Kentucky still isn’t on our level. It’s like someone said “hey what’s a Spanish...
Multiple times Dan Hurley has mentioned the formula. What is the formula? Here is my take.
1) Implement a European style offense. Multiple shooters 1-4 positions while having capable passers at every position. Instead of being overly dependent on one on one or pick and roll plays. The constant...
I love the boneyard and spend way too much of my day reading other people’s opinions but this site does have potential. Now is the time to maximize the programs success into sometime that keeps the program competitive.
The idea of having a place where I can get exclusive interviews and UConn...
I think Hurley is really being strategic with his recruiting and is leaning into roster building. He could just recruit quantity or the wide net approach but I think that would result in a high transfer rate. Conversely I think he recruits selectively and try’s to fill specific holes.
Case in...
Just curious what people think is more important. Obviously recruiting high level high school recruits that fill needs on your roster is potentially beneficial but with the way things are now with the instant eligibility for transfers, it seems that more emphasis should be placed on finding the...
Personally I'm sick and tired of waiting for an invite and being used by the Power 4 teams to add to their respective leagues. It's time for UConn and the Big East to get creative. This is what I would do.
First invite Gonzaga, Stanford, Cal, Washington St. and Oregon State to the Big East and...
I personally don’t believe it for a second. The Big 12 could of had UCONN weeks or years ago. They didn’t pull the trigger because they never really wanted us. We were always the 4th choice and a pawn to use to get who they wanted. They are not that into us, even as the football team is on the...
You do exactly what they are doing. Put together a schedule that allows them to win a couple of games and make a bowl game. Allow them to build some momentum and actually become competitive against Power 5 teams instead of throwing them into the fire of the Big 12 and get destroyed week in and...
I absolutely do not want to move to the Big 12. We will lose more as a program than we could possibly gain. Including…..
1. MSG being filled with UCONN fans. No matter where in the middle of nowhere they decide to play their conference tournament, UCONN fans will not travel that far to attend...
I think Hurley should get major props for what I think was a contrarian way of constructing and running his team. He is a coach at a High Major conference college and yet in many ways his offense ran like a mid-major or smaller college team. All the big schools seem to rely heavily on high level...
I will always remember the cohesiveness on offense. I don't think we've had such fluidity and unselfishness on a team since 95 and that team was an offensive juggernaut. And I will always remember someone saying that Hurley should be fired after the 1st half of the first round game. I know we...
