I urge everyone to look at his instagram page and the message he wrote about his grandmother who just passed away recently, it's quite a tribute. Not only did UConn get a really good player who fits the Hurley mold perfectly but they got a really mature person. Not many teenagers come across like he does in his interviews and writing. UConn got a really one.

HARTFORD, Conn. — One of the first times Dan Hurley saw Corey Floyd Jr. play, the UConn coach asked Floyd’s grassroots coach, “Does he want to tear somebody’s face off?”

UConn lands a commitment from four-star guard Corey Floyd Jr.

Floyd, a physical and aggressive guard from Roselle Catholic in New Jersey, is the first commit in the Class of 2022.

It continues to be crystal clear - Hurley knows EXACTLY the type of young man he wants to bring into this program... and then he and this awesome staff pin point who those guys are in each class, and then with the precision of world-class assassins go in and get their man.

It is quite impressive to watch... and fantastic that he, Young, Moore and now Freeman (and Taliek as well) are on the side of the good guys.

Great job getting your man once again, Coach Hurley and Company!!!

Feels soooooo good to be back where we belong... Now and into the foreseeable future!

One of the superior talents of Dan Hurley/staff is that they are snipers.. They evaluate/select/focus on a target (recruit).. And they execute on the recruitment of that target..

They are exceptional at successfully recruiting their targets..

Cannot say enough about that skill set when rebuilding a Program.. Off the charts..

i'm more interested in who's next for 2021 with 2 open schollys...

consensus seemed to be we needed a big man and a SG, but the latter sounds like a hard sell seeing as they'd be sandwiched in between Hawkins and Floyd.

You crushed me many months back for suggesting we might be in this situation. But here we are..

The Carpenter has got your back..

That’s the beauty of a grad transfer

I agree. We need a scorer wing. Unfortunately with Jackson, Martin and Hawkins that could be a tough sell. In a perfect world one of them is the answer. Martin and a transfer wouldn’t affect 22 and probably not a freshman Hawkins but Jackson would need to see some time this year. We’ll see how it shakes out.

Really love this commitment. Kid sounds smart, mature (as @superjohn noted) and humble but hungry. He strikes me as a kid ready to put in the work. On his body and game by playing flat out at both ends when he’s on the court. He fits the identity Hurley is building for the team. No prima donas need apply, just dogs who want to win.
