Dan Hurley press conference

[tzznandrew]

You seem to forget that people here were ready to run through a wall for Diaco after his introductory presser.

People also were pretty pumped about KO's presser, though it was filled with a great deal of vapidity. Saying you're going to be the hardest working, most committed to winning group of players isn't that much more specific.

Still, I came out enthusiastic.

My first ever posted thread on here was about how I thought Diaco seems out of touch right after he got hired.
That's when I learned the Boneyard is not a place for hot takes if you don't have a cup on.
Turns out the take wasn't so hot.

Meh, you aren't a yarder until you've taken a good BY beating and stood up and posted again.

I was thinking of this avatar. My first ever. What do you think?

Diaco's presser made him look so good because it was full of energy and unexpectedness.....and energy vampires. I think the optimism was coupled with a bit of apprehension about what this wacko was saying. KO's optimism obviously was linked to the escalators quote. This one felt genuine. No hyperbole, no canned lines, just genuine humility about the opportunity he had. The name dropping of Calhoun's 2-2-1 press and Burrell, Doron, Donyell, and Ray helped.

I have a raging hard on right now.

That hair is WILD

I just did video replay, personally I'm digging it.

 

[UconnAlum04]

You like Cox?

Ok, I giggled at this. I guess I'm 12.

KO won a national title in year 2...so whatever he said worked. Until it didn’t.

Hoping Hurley is now headed to Bradley. There's a certain person in Cali he needs to meet.

Not everyone.

 

[Walker11]

I like that he totally forgot Herbst's name at least 3 times.

 

[98Uconn]

I just can’t wait to see our offense actually run a play.

 

[freescooter]

We are UConn. The entire USA is our recruiting area, plus Canada, Europe and Israel. What did I miss?

A couple of African countries and Austrailia I think.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

That's encouraging.

 

[8893]

I don't think he knows how to address or refer to Herbst yet. Seems to want to say something else and then settles on "the president."

Serrano is a Nancy boy

 

[3rdbass]

Well I'm glad he is happy with whatever the infractions might be. Sounds like they aren't too serious but just enough to get KO canned.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

I also like how he shaat on the entire league in the process of praising UConn's brand.

 

[UConnMike04]

He’ll be on WFAN at 5:25 today.

The @UConnMBB team listening to @UConnHuskyAD welcome Danny Hurley

Some dingleberry, or acting as if likely to return for just UConn basketball?

Well, people were also recovering from Pastaroni and willing to hope and dream before Disastro set in ...
