I coach sports and care passionately about culture and prioritize it, but you also have to marry that with the times and for him to ignore the portal last year was a HUGE mistake. Culture and portal - ITS NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE HURLEY! I look at Texas A&M they're mostly transfers and we mentored their star player, they have an AMAZING CULTURE. My wife and middle son were with them in NYC for the NIT Finals. Hurley pissed away a good year worrying about Gaffney's feelings when it was obvious we didn't have shot creators and Gaff, while talented, played timid. Imagine Cole, Martin and Co. having a nice Sweet 16 run with Fatts or a similar guard that could create (I didn't watch enough to know another but obviously tons of creators out there). Hurley needs to learn it's not 1991. I think he is. But man, he's pissing away a lot of goodwill with the fanbase with his antiquated thinking, playing two centers, no creators, etc. He doesn't have forever, but he sure runs his program that way.
