Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 3901640, member: 1559"] The Cinci team issues are why I really like what Hurley has done to rebuild UConn basketball. When he was hired, he did not run off players or treat them poorly. He tried to develop them. His first year, he only brought in 1 HS recruit who he had recruited to URI. His recruiting classes have been a manageable number of new players. For transfers, he only brought in kids he knew personally. Cole played for his dad and really wanted to play at UConn and he recruited and coached Martin at URI. He brought in Tom Moore as an assistant coach and he hired Taliek Brown as director of player development linking the current program to the past. And he hired Kevin Freeman as an assistant coach and made Mamidou Diarra a grad assistant. Now the foundation at UConn is solid. [/QUOTE]
