Another Dan Hurley thread

Larrier still has one more year of eligibility as he played at VCU as a freshman, sat out as a transfer, injured last year, playing this year, so next year would be his fifth year. Doubtful he comes back those he is 23 years old and most likely looking to move on to G league

He can't even play in the G League, lost his explosion prior to injury (it may come back) and can't do much other than spot shooting. Shoots it a lot better, has improved there no doubt but can't get to a spot on his own off the dribble, doesn't pass well and isn't strong enough. Deandre Daniels can't hang and he's a lot better overall than Terry now. He needs the year no matter what his age is. So does Jalen but they're grown men, up to them just hope for their sake they do the right thing.
 
Only holdup is figuring out the buyout,


Which buyout? Ollie's or Hurley's?

Ollie's large buyout would possibly not be the only one that UConn might have to pay if it replaced its present coach. I googled Hurley's contract and found some information relating to his last extension (he has had his contract extended and reworked three time in his first five years at Rhode Island. He is currently signed through the 2023-24 season. If Hurley were to depart URI this season or next, the school is owed a buyout amount of 1.5 million. It appears as if Hurley is presently paid about 1M per year. This is considerably less than Ollie's compensation which is thought to be 2.8-3M. Given the success Hurley is having at URI this season along with the fact the school has already extended and reworked his contract several times during his stint there, I would think it likely he would be in line for another extension and raise in April after a projected 2nd straight NCAA appearance. Rhode Island however could never offer money that approaches what UConn has been paying Kevin Ollie. The best it could probably add is a several hundred K more.

I thought last year’s team was better, but he’s proving me wrong.
