I think the state of the program when he took over is far exaggerated.

It got new life going back to the Big East and he inherited two 5* guards when he got here.

The hardest thing about college basketball is getting talent, this program sells itself (and Hurley has done an amazing job in general at identifying talent).

I push back on “never seen before” because we've just never seen the back to back.

But come on man we've won 4 titles before he got here and was the premiere program in the best conference in basketball winning multiple Championnships with a claim as having the best players in the NBA (not just getting there but performing there) at one point. No we didn't get the credit from the media (who cares), but we've been here before.

We aren't even dominating our conference like Calhoun did in the 90s where he won 6(!!!) regular season Big East titles in a much tougher conference. We've won one Big East regular season since Hurley has been here.

The only things we haven't seen is the back to back and media love (but who cares about media love). But we've been here before. Lets act like it.
