This is a great beginning.

It's what you want to hear but... none of it means anything until they are on the court.

As blunt as he can be, Hurley hasn’t come out and laid any of the blame for the Huskies’ lack of physical and mental toughness on the previous coaching staff. But it isn’t hard to read between the lines. And while Hurley wasn’t here to see what went on last season, at least one longtime, respected member of the athletic program did notice a distinct lack of intensity and hard work, particularly in the weight room but also during practice sessions.

Ha, who might be this mysterious longtime respected member of the athletic department who presumably knows something about intensity.....

2nd post of the thread - top notch.
Usually it takes about 4 or 5 posts to get to the "meaningless until we see it on the Court," or "we heard the same things with Ollie" naysayers.

Breath in. Hold. Breath out.

Now let everybody have a little fun speculating positively on the season based on nothing more than the scant crumbs that fall through the grate to us.
After the last few years, we deserve it.
