Was this before or after Hurley was/wasn't going to take the Laker's job?

Either way, I don't believe it.

"Deep fake" - trust me, a deep fake is pretty damn realistic.

Still don't believe it.

Donovan said he visited twice last week and still feels like he's a part of the team.

Donovan, you'll aways be a part of the team.

Hurley after he says he’s a loyal coach:

Posted this in another thread:

Donovan Clingan drafted 7th to the Trail Blazers!

Saw this.

I posted a couple months back about how much DC loved the school, the team and being so close to home. I also stated that in October (2023) his decision unquestionably would be to return and even with being a lottery lock he may not be fully committed to leaving yet.

He was a great Husky whole he was here and he'll be a great ambassador for the school and the program going forward.

Could you possibly imagine if both of them came back?

 

[AZHuskiePop]

An athlete has limited peak years that can be shortened by injury in a heartbeat . When the opportunity comes you have to take it . Hurley saw his brother’s career end tragically. If that happened when he was still in school he would have ended up with nothing .
When I started my career there was a senior manager who was a Korean War veteran a Major in The USMC who told us “ advancement is like a bus when it shows up you better have your ticket ready because you never know if it will come around again“ Hurley understands this was their time to get on that bus because life is unpredictable.

Is there an article for Steph?

You'd just feel badly for anyone we played

 

[willie99]

I do believe the story. Donovan was happy and content and likes being a kid. Nothing wrong with that. He also had plenty of money in his pocket

I believe Hurley kicked him out the door, and I support that too

Nothing unimaginable

 

[The Viking]

Hurley likes a challenge. Having Clingan comeback for a third year, there was a real chance that CBB would just cancel the season like Covid part 2.
That being said if I was the coach and my best player wanted to come back and was already banking NIL, I would have welcomed him with open arms.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Good. That’s what Hurley should be doing in a situation like this. It was clearly in DC’s best interest to jump to the NBA.

you’re out of your mind, bro. Get the hell out of here

Must be an angry UK fan and still angry that Hurley said NO! in less than 2 minutes .

I wouldn't.

 

[LIuconn]

Thought the castle plan was always 1/done. Would like to see a quote or story on him saying he considered coming back

 

[EBonz30]

Super touching- he will forever be one of my favorites.

 

[UCHuskies08]

Of course he would tell him that. It would be silly for Clingan to come back. Time to secure that first round contract.
