Amore on Kevin Freeman

[tcf15]

UConn Makes It Official: Hires Kimani Young For New Staff
None of Ollie’s assistants, Raphael Chillious, Dwayne Killings and Rickey Moore are expected to return. Kevin Freeman, who has been the director of basketball operations, is expected to be offered another role, perhaps in player-development/mentoring. Two from Hurley’s staff from URI, Eric Youncofski (director of operations) and Tripp Doherty (video), are expected to join him in Storrs.

This would be ideal -- retain Freeman in a support role and get a proven recruiter as an assistant.

 

[UConnStats]

I can understand not wanting to keep coaches who were so close to Ollie, but if you’re looking for a DMV recruiter, Chillious certainly fits the bill.

Perfect, love KFree don't want him as an assistant.

Makes sense to me - Chill for DMV and West Coast rappers

Do I smell another Fordham grad transfer point guard???

Doesn't seem like much of an improvement over AA, does it? Never seen him play but the stats suggest he's a pretty poor shooter but he's active on defense and the boards...

 

[methodology]

Chill would be perfect. Dmv connection and proven recruiter but doesn't seem like Hurley has any interest

 

[CL82]

Yep, it's Hurley's program and I like his hires so far but KFree landing on his feet out of all this is a good thing.

Hurley is old school to the core. Chill is way to new school.

 

[husky429]

I wouldn't mind bringing chill back as a regular assistant--not associate head coach. IF he shows a willingness in interviews to get on board with Hurley's philosophy.

 

[Walker11]

After reading that tidbit, Danny Griffin's old role (Director of Player Development) seems like a good bet.

Recruiting the DMV? Obvious choice; Bunky!

 

[intlzncster]

I heard that Kfree wasn't that interested in being an assistant anyway. Preference was to be in administration. No first or even second hand knowledge though.

Heard the same. Of course I heard it on the BY so...

LOL - you think?

Why are we recruiting at the Department of Motor Vehicles?

I heard this as well... or actually I was the one who actually posted it on the BY. #TrustTheProcess

That's probably it. Sometimes I can't remember where I find these things, twitter, Yard, beat guys...

hat tip.

 

[imno1]

Why are we recruiting at the Department of Motor Vehicles?

Because if you have a recruit there you are pretty much guaranteed 3 plus hours with him

 

[king conn]

Why are we recruiting at the Department of Motor Vehicles?

Less likely to drive scooters.

 

[Huskybass]

Why are we recruiting at the Department of Motor Vehicles?

It's the law of large numbers. There are like 8000 people there, so at least a few have some game.

 

[Jaker]

What about Ricky Moore?? The kid ate nails on defense, kind of bummed he is not being retained.

I guess he couldn't coach it.
