Which raises the question, what does “recruited over“ actually mean? Is bringing in a kid in at your position in a subsequent class “recruiting over“ him? to the extend I think about it at all, I view recruiting over someone meaning continuing to recruit a players position in the same class year after he’s committed.
2 role players, both of whom had hit their ceiling, a freshman who looked like he was playing above his level (hence why he's going to UMass/URI) and a player who hasn't played 1 second of D1 basketball isn't what I'd call a "mass exodus." LSU is a "mass exodus."
Diggins, Gaffney, Floyd and Akok and Garry.) Four players (and Garry)? I’d call that a mass exodus, but I agree to disagree with you on the semantics of it.
I like Hurley and want to see him succeed, but he never should have let Corey Floyd transfer. That one hurts the most from a productivity standpoint.
Big fan of Akok also and I find it a bit concerning on how Hurley handled him on his return back from his injury. What does that say to incoming recruits? Don't get injured cause you will not see much playing time after that. He was highly recruited by UConn and other major programs and really was never given enough time to get back to pre-injury form. I was crucified a while back when I indicated that Akok did not have the same enthusiasm as when he was a freshman. I would like to see coach Hurley handle his young players better than he has and also he needs to re evaluate his coaching style. I will also watch and root for Akok. Best of luck to Akok Akok hope you find a great situation just like Josh did.
You have to remember he used to not smile
I’m feeding a troll. I’m nearly certain of it. However...you seem to be having fun, Chap. What the heck was that?
Every kid should expect the coach to recruit over him every year. It’s called competition.
it's not about how many. it's about who.
He refused to answer because it’s never been written about nor has it ever been an issue with Akok. He claims he’s buddy buddy with the PSA coaching staff who have the reputation for being some of the sleaziest in the region. I wouldn’t believe a word that comes out of their mouths lmao
Because you said “it’s been written about” and I said to show me the proof and you came up with nothing.
Strong Will Smith vibes on this
That would be “pretty little name”
He edited it
Yeah I guess only good thing about him leaving is I can stop yelling at my TV screen “where the hell is akok?” “Why won’t Hurley ever put him in for more minutes?” Etc. Weird because every time he came in he would do something positive : bang a three , block a shot , get his teammates and the crowd amped up - and then he wud never come back in the game again. another weird one for Hurley -not really giving a chance to.
What exactly did playing Whaley and Polley get us?
