I think the hype around Hurley these past few days has been overblown and he has a ton to prove, but now that he's in Storrs that hype definitely plays into our hands.

He'll have a bit of an aura now

Agreed.

He seemed like the best fit on paper, but at some point this became much less about "Dan Hurley, basketball coach" and much more about "Is UConn still UConn?"

Thankfully we came away with the answer we hoped for.

Good work 99. I trust in Hurley to actually have a pretty specific plan in place and many dominoes will fall in the next two weeks. Especially when URI hires a coach.

I'm really hoping URI gives it to Dooley (they supposedly liked him a lot previously) and my Akinjo/Harris lead title team dreams can still be a thing.

If Dooley becomes URI coach Cox will be here on Hurley’s staff and Harris will follow.

Exactly.

Those 2 are upperclassmen can be leading the next great UConn (not good, GREAT).

Heard Hurley is all over this.


Also looking at a top 30 2019 kid who could reclassify from the tri state. Trying to get a name

Anyone know a top 30 2019 kid that can reclassify to this year?

Really weak year for PGs in the Tri State area.

Even widening the parameters to top 100:

CT: None

NY: Cole Anthony (#5), Jalen Lecque (#12, also attends a school in NC)

NJ: Isaiah Wong (#44 on 247)

The only guys that seem to halfway fit that description are Bryan Antoine (#7 overall) and Lecque. Antoine is about to turn 18 as a JR, so it could be. Sounds like a pipe dream given who is in on him.

There's also a kid from St. Benedict's a little further down the rankings who is 6'8" and listed as a SF. With Wilson, Matthews, Polley already options at SF, one or more would probably go.

I don't have any info with Lecque, but I have a friend who went to boarding school with Lecque. They're pretty close. Just kinda cool haha

I doubt he comes here. Seems very unlikely.

2 sub-6' guards is tough to play with anyways. Good player. Great hs player, actually. But not irreplacable

As long as your bigs and everybody else on the court knows what to do it works... Remember 2014????
 
6' 160 to me is a little on the lean side. This is the undernourished type UConn has been getting under KO. Great in high school. Gets knocked down in college.

Great news.

But regardless of what happens on this front, it seems the fanbase has been rejuvenated which is refreshing. Haven't had this vibe around the program in a while, imo.

#HurleyWatch and the Some Guy thread was like a jolt of adrenaline to a previously torpid fanbase/MBB board. That was the most fun I've had on the BY in years.
