An offer is in

What side are you on?

Let's do this.

You leave Pittsburgh and I leave Glastonbury at the same time and see who gets to Jersey City first. You can even pick the start time.

No way I lose.

The Bada Bing is not in Jersey City... it’s in Lodi. So that’s stupid. My point wasn’t Pittsburgh. My point is that using the proximity is stupid bc of the traffic. I don’t live in Pittsburgh. It’s probably about 4 hours. But I will tell you a drive from Bucks County, PA (right by Trenton) to lets say, Bridgeport should take 2 hours with no traffic. My point is there is pretty much always traffic and it can take far longer. And I would rather fly from Pittsburgh to Newark than Hartford to Newark.

There is NO way you make it from Glastonbury with no traffic to Lodi in less than an hour. I’ll buy you a drink if you do. I’m a woman and I’ll buy you lap dances and drinks if you do. It won’t happen.

I love CT. Homesick. But there’s a reason CT didn’t land Amazon. Infrastructure and congestion was a big factor!

If Benedict makes him a monster offer and he decides to stay where he is how can you be made at DB?

Not having a credible backup plan atm, if the report of 'All in' on Hurley is true.

He loves it in Rhode Island to the point where he's not sure he wants to leave.

Which - if that's true, I'm not even mad about. Nice to see a guy care about what he's built. Although I'd love him here. I don't think that once he's here, that he'd leave.

I would love to have him coaching Uconn but I can not fault him for loving URI and unsure of leaving. In fact I respect that a lot. He has a good thing going in a Top 10 conference (I think they are #9 or 10 by most metrics) with a ceiling as high as 8 if st. bonnies continues to grow, Davidson builds off of their appearance in the tourney this year and a 4th/5th team raises up next year similar to what Davidson did this year. A good thing going too because people will not be going crazy if he does not make the final four or even elite 8 every other year. Continue to have years around the success of this year and people will love him. Going to Uconn, well he has a heck of a lot more to live up to.

Nate Oats should be the backup plan. I'm sold based off on one game, but I've seen enough.

Yup. Was gonna reply the same thing. I've watched them three times. I think I've seen that style of D somewhere before.

Idk how he'd do running a program like UCONN, but he can damn well coach. And he targets the right kinds of kid, "tough guys who will listen".

Oats halftime interview, "we are the better team." Not even bragging or motivational, just matter of fact.

Definitely! It is impressive how hard they play on both sides of the ball. They definitely don't play an ugly type of offense like RI sometimes does.

Really don't see Dan going to the rival school of his brother. Not to mention they have zero recruits next year and six returning scholarship players and who knows what kind of NCAA penalties.
 
They can

They can run an entire conference together. That’s unprecedented.

They wouldn't run it, they'd be actively competing against each other at two schools who hate one another. I don't foresee it as very likely.

Especially because both Hurley's are big family guy types.

I'm sorry are you comparing the drive time from Hartford to the flight time from Pittsburgh?

Congrats, you've contributed the stupidest post in the history of this board.

Did you forget we have an airport and airplanes too if we wanna have a flightoff?

He did live near Kingston for years, which doesn't even have internet access when it rains.

I thought the exact same thing watching the URI game today. At times their offense looked very much like Ollie's. They just have better players to execute it. Oklahoma is not a very good team. Young is essentially a one man show.

This guy Oats definitely has his act together. It was refreshing to watch a team that well prepared. They executed his game plan to near perfection. I also loved his postgame comments. Confident, not cocky. "We expected to win."

It would be Storrs not Glastonbury, but yeah it's like twice the distance. Still getting around NYC and through Fairfield County is brutal.

I know it sounds silly now - but don't sleep on UMass. They are in a good spot for the first time in 20 years. McCall is legit. Really, really legit.

Calhoun was thinking about staying at Northeastern fellas, loyalty is a good quality

UConn is a step up from RI and he has a bunch of seniors who will be leaving, that can help us

So far I've heard about three qualities that remind be of JC. Program builder, loyal and a Northeastern (New England) guy. (just not defensive FG% :))

The traffic from Pittsburgh to NJ is far better than it is from NJ to CT... trust me, I live in PA now and going home is a nightmare bc of the traffic!!!

Trust me, I have a house at the Shore. It’s not that bad from CT to NJ or reverse, just pick the right time to travel.

Since no other names have been mentioned, I think DB may have some sort of "commitment"

Emphasis on "I think" and "commitment" is not intended to imply binding

Def not an unreasonable take.

Not the best look for anyone though

Fairfield Cty is fine if it's not rush hour. When it's not rush hour the Merritt and 95 cruise. Or North in the morning and South in the afternoon when you're against the traffic flow. I still think it's easier to avoid the mess and go 84, 684 down Henry Hudson to the GW. I've made Giants Stadium from Danbury in an hour and fifteen minutes with light traffic. Coming home is a different ball game Head bang
