This is worth a listen and is relatively brief. It was particularly interesting to hear Coach Hurley's breakdown of Andre Jackson's game. He noted AJ is almost 6'7" now, and is by far the most athletic player he's coached (a list that includes JR Smith and, of course, The Bouk of James).

Other notes:
[LIST]
[*]Polley expected back to start the year - notes that his game is less reliant on athleticism so less of an issue than with other players
[*]Extreme caution with Akok - Coach Hurley notes he is a 1st round draft prospect, and will only return to the court when he feels "incredibly great"
[*]More competition for minutes in the frontcourt - Coach Hurley notes competition is paramount for growth, improvement, program-building
[*]Coach Hurley expects to be an NCAA Tournament-caliber team this season, as well as very competitive in the Big East
[*]Some interesting background on Hurley growing up with his HoF coach father and brother a great at Duke
