First good thing McMurphy has tweeted about UConn

I think this is our guy. I like it. LOOK. AT. HIM. He even looks like Superman!

 

[UConnDan97]

Well, I had him higher on my wish list than Lembo, so I guess I should be happy about the last 20 minutes.

By the way, I'm not changing my avatar for Diaco...

 

[UCFBfan]

I'm sorry but I know nothing about this guy....anyone wanna fill in positives about him???

 

[ruskin]

definitely not on back nine of his career. just getting to the fifth hole.

would keep TJ in play as OC, IMO

AWESOME! 2012 Broyles Award winner, runner up in 2011.

Edit - And according to a source, a "stone cold fox."

Young, good looking, hungry to prove himself, helped turn ND around led by his D, coached at a big boy program, from New Jersey.

Any negatives?

2012 Broyle award winner.

Well, we just missed on this year's Broyles Award winner and end up getting last year's Broyles Award winner. Played at Iowa under Frye, and has traveled with Brian Kelly a little while. From what I hear, he's a good recruiter as well...

He has a good resume. He is from New Jersey and is a great recruiter. He is very familiar with recruiting the Northeast. I think he and TJ worked together for a year or two at Cincy and possibly one other school. TJ may stay with Diaco.

Good hire if true. I like it better than Narduzzi.

Like what I've just seen through my "expert" google search

Diaco is a very engaging and charismatic guy. He'll crush the presser and UConn boosters will love him.

OK, let's talk about Pete Lembo Bob Diaco. What kind of offense does he run? Defense? What style can we expect to see? is he charismatic? dull? does he develop talent? Or is he a better recruiter?
Let's go

Diaco 2012 Broyles speech

 

[Chin Diesel]

Absolutely a great pick!!!

Strong ties to NJ and B1G country.

Instant credibility for any house he walk in to as well.

Fits Warde's MO of hiring people from the proper stock as well. He's definitely a country club kind of personality.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of his recruits transfers to Uconn.

He runs whatever the OC tells him to run.

Everything this program has been MISSING.

love love love this hire, what a score

This is the next step/question here. Will our current recruits still commit? Namely, will Newsome stay
