Dan Hurley St. John's Post Game Presser

An agile Clingan is such a weapon. We saw brief glimpses of him completely healthy, and he is on a higher level. When he is gimpy, his whole game suffers including his confidence and free throw shooting. I think Coach Hurley is frustrated with Clingan"s injury prone season, and wants him back at full strength which means keeping himself in shape despite the injury.

The Samson Johnson comments are kind of cringe. If he wants to boast his story he’ll have to have an NBA career.

Otherwise it’ll just seem like he took one for the program despite him having “Wall potential” his freshman year. And that’s not going to be something other kids want to follow.
 
Biggest takeaways for me:
He’s not happy with Clingans conditioning and thinks that it is causing his constant injuries
He’s not thrilled Aleyne left. Blames someone (Pitino or others) for making grandiose promises for what was to come at St. John’s for minutes etc. and said we definitely could have used him this year. Loves the kid

Helping his team win another title would be a pretty nice story.

I agree, but at the end of the day these kids also want to make life changing money and take care of their families. That’s always the main goal.

Especially when you’re suppose to have the talent to do so.

Announcers talking about UConn mailing Alleyne his NCAA Tournament Championship ring and not driving to St. John's to deliver it.... That's like 3 hours from stores. The kid bailed on the program, mailing is more than fair. Those announcers are clueless.

Alleyne talking about wanting to kill the Huskies. 24 minutes and 2 pts. LOL.

When I heard they mailed it to them I figured the UConn staff was not thrilled with the young man’s decision to bolt…at least not happy he bolted and stayed in conference.

What were the alternatives? Have Alleyne wait 2 months to get it? Have someone from UConn (Coach or manager) waste an entire day driving to NYC? This is a non story.

Give it to him in person last night?
Maybe they were willing to give it to him tonight and he wanted it sooner.
It could be a non story and It’s not the end of the world regardless. But Hurley clearly was disappointed with what went down.

Meh I'm happy Alleyne left. Loved the kid but he wasn't on Cam's level.

Didn't deserve any recognition for jos role in the championship after xfering, but no hard feelings from me. He's just not on our level.

Whose minutes would Alleyne have taken? Solo’s?

Not on our level? Thats a strange comment considering he played a big role is us winning a championship last season.

Maybe he’s not a starter on our level, but he’s every bit as good as Hassan Diarra

That's what I meant. We needed a starter and he wasn't that good. He'd be fine off the bench for.

Actually, I had this nagging worry when Clingan gained 20 pounds in the offseason, because one of his strengths last year was running the floor. Normally, you hope for extra weight on a big, but maybe it hurst DC’s mobility too much.

That championship banquet tour is a bitch.
