All Access: Inside Dan Hurley's intense UConn practice

[Huskygrad88]

Interesting feedback

The Bouknight conversation really is intriguing. Was James able to completely turn it on and off? Did he practice the way Hurley would want with total concentration and then just shut it down after the whistle at the end of practice?

I think ultimatley it will come down to Aidan Mahaney but that's a huge role for him being brand new.

IIRC we did alright Newton's first season in Storrs.

that sleepers reaction is dumb on many levels. it's pretty amazing that they managed to find someone even more wrong than Greg.

Bouknight was the first "big time talent" they were able to recruit. They weren't established, didn't have the culture cred. I think Hurley has mentioned several times they kinda let him get away with some stuff cuz they needed the talent. My guess is now that they are where they are - they wouldn't reach on talent with as many questions, now.

I've said the same recently. I don't think today Hurley would recruit Bouknight.

James Bouknight Released

Hopefully he gets a second chance and realizes it's time to get his act together. And before anyone says it no he shouldn't have come back
