Message: [QUOTE="BFieldHusky, post: 3540317, member: 2154"] This was my favorite gem from that thread. That guy jdub30s is the gift that keeps on giving. [I][B]He’s promising a lot; championships, NBA, playing time , etc. Hes new there so kids believe the vision. But eventually he has to either win in march and/or put guys in the nba or it won’t last long.[/B][/I] [B][I]if it’s 2023 and he’s had 1 nba draft pick and 1 tournament win, guess what? Everything he uses to get kids now won’t work anymore Sanogo said he thinks UConn can get him to the nba faster than seton hall. Hurley has never had a player drafted; so Sanogo made that statement off of a Hurley promise. it’s working now, but he’s talking out of his ass because he’s never accomplished anything that he’s promised these kids - he has 2 tournament wins in his career and hasnt put a kid in the league ; yet last year at UConn he said they’d win a title within 2 years. I get what he’s doing and why it works, but he better produce results soon otherwise his pie in the sky comments will look silly. he’s already began to over recruit; this isn’t URI... this won’t fly with top 120 kids.[/I][/B] [I][B]EDIT: also, if you look at the roster he has now, not sure where the shooting come from. He currently has 6 schloarships committed to bigs, only 1 of whom can even take a 3pter (and he’s not good at it - Akok), and 2 more to wings who can’t shoot (Martin, Jackson). Bouknight should be good from 3 but didn’t take a lot last year and then they have the Howard transfer Cole who needed a tremendous usage rate to put up stats at Howard... interesting strategy for 2020 college basketball.[/B][/I] 1. Yes as a college coach you recruit to players about NBA aspirations and playing time. And playing for championships. Hurley has said that is his goal from the beginning. Winning championships and developing first round picks. Guess the nose picker is content on finishing 8th or 9th in the ACC. 2. Hurley has never had anyone drafted at URI or Wagner. Bouknight is a NBA player. I suspect Jackson will be. Akok if he gets healthy. Sanago. Maybe even a guy like Martin or J B F if he develops. Now that he a roster of mostly top 120 players, Hurley will get guys in the league. 3. Begun to over recruit? Not sure what that means. 4. My favorite part is the last line...interesting strategy for 2020 college basketball. I guess the strategy is to play excessively 2-3 zone while most teams can shoot now, play 2 guys who can't move laterally at the top of the zone 38 minutes each, and have a roster of 6-7 guys, which includes 3 centers who mostly likely should be playing in the MAAC and none weigh over 215. I guess thats 2020 college basketball. [/QUOTE]
