Dan Hurley St. John's Post Game Presser

[Deleted at users request]

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

Whose minutes would Alleyne have taken? Solo’s?

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.

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

What does travel suit is bad mean?

Means not being able to play is bad.

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.

Disagree, this year’s Diarra is better than him in both D and O.

 

[HailUConn]

Hurley knows how to push the buttons. I love Hurley’s not so subtle dig at Clingan. His foot trouble started with weight gain in the summer. He used to be like gazelle running up and down the court.

C’mon, Don get in shape quickly, and we need you down the stretch!

 

[HailUConn]

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.

Exactly, if you were him and got along with the rest of team, wouldn’t you want to come back and get a ring while chilling out with dudes?


If he was talking smack against your program, we should forget him like dust in the wind.

They don’t win National Championship without him say’s Hurley.

No Shaq-a-roni this Christmas

D, yes....O, negative

 

[BGesus4]

D, yes....O, negative

Not as good a scorer, but a much better distributor/runner of an offense.

"It was really loud....The crowd responds to the personalities and players and they certainly respond to a guy like Cam."

I don't get to many big games anymore but no question the HCC was rocking last night. It was awesome.

 

[Kembacity]

Akok did the same thing though as well.

What akok did was completely different in my opinion. Akok was not the same after his injury and wouldn’t have been a major piece of the rotation. His transfer was for more PT and no one blamed him. Rahsool Diggins same thing, Corey Floyd/Naheim Alleyne left for teams in the same conference and there was no PT implications. They left for a similar role, maybe they hated Hurley but Alleyne didn’t seem to, and I don’t see how playing for Pitino might be more laid back in any way

Agree offensively but his defense is what made him valuable

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Was Hurley referencing Corey Floyd Jr?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

“It’s not gonna be as pretty but we’ll be better for it in the long run”. Excellent line and likely very true. Love our coach.

Amazing that in other threads there are posters who write as though other posters and the coaching staff are claiming that it was, and couldn't or didn't see it as it was.

Is that a Four-Leaf Tayback quote?

Only if I unknowingly channeled it.

So much ignorance on Four-Leaf Tayback that he/she/they/it could be a once-appearing, long-lost relative of Bojack Horseman.

I’m can’t decipher this enough to decide if you’re agreeing or disagreeing with me, so I will just respond with Happy Holidays to you at yours; and then I’m covered either way.

he doesn’t help us when he is in a suit and a boot on the bench
we need him in uniform .

Strongly agree with you; thanks for an excellent pull quote; and my post was quite poorly written if clarity was my goal.

Does UConn have a mic shortage? Why can’t they give the person asking a question a mic so we can hear the ? instead of having to extract the question from the answer? GREAT COMMENT NJ HUSKY. You just pointed out what all the rest of the husky fans
were thinking.

Gotta agree here. It seems silly that we cant get another mic in that room when every youtuber with 30 subscribers has a good one, and a backup in case the good one breaks.
