Alterique unlikely vs. Houston

[JimHurley]

Isn't it likely that we will have the kid from East Catholic as a walk-on?

Likely? No. There’s only speculation. He would be perfect though.

Had a dream last night that AG re-injured his shoulder again. Like after this injury. Might not be a sign, but it might be too.

We all have dreams, but none greater than this one.

In the recruiting game, coaches have to be aware of all possible scenarios. Injuries, transfers (including grad. transfers), and eligibility issues: both coming and going.
(including reclassifications). A staff that can really "grind" is always prepared and keeps their eyes open.
You never know who might become available or unavailable at any time.

This exact scenario is where the staff assembled (including Hurley) will show their competency. You have an awful lot of twisted scenarios; current injuries (JA), longer-term injuries (yes AG, but also Diarra) sidelining players for multiple years and vast unpredictability for future years, current players unable to contribute presently and may not have the capacity to develop, scholarship reduction, players meeting qualifications of the system you are trying to implement. The list goes on, however by show of continuous "grind" this staff seems to have the "process" in the right direction. Can't say I'd be surprised by shake-ups all in the name of restoring the program.

Have you seen them play?
They are bigger, stronger and faster in most every position vs UConn
Sampson doesn’t grind in recruiting like Hurley about too
Lets talk after Dan Hurley gets some quality bigs and has the success that Sampson has had at UH

Not saying that UConn won't be where UH is right now but it starts with getting physical guys and I don't see any wearing a UConn uniform now and not much of that type coming in - yet.

Kelvin Sampson has won two tournament games in 15 years one with Houston and you got him next to Coach K. Nobody wanted Sampson he got a third chance and he has done ok but he hasn’t won anything yet. If he is the best coach in this league then I like Hurley’s chances.
