Thats typically how these things go. Nothing official was reported but its intuition based on circumstance and timing of transfers. Both were announced after they met with Hurley. Almost always that means the coach told the player things they didn't want to hear. Honest question, if Hurley told Gaffney he was next years starting pg or would see a much bigger role, do you really think he would leave?
I hear that! I love CT for about 4 weeks in the fall. Warm days, cool nights, colors on the trees, cider bought fresh from the orchard. Then those cold, rainy days come where the damp cold seems to just go right through you. Then the snow and ice.
I really like Cole, but Boat was a completely different type of player. Despite his size, Boat threw down many dunks while in a UConn uniform. I don't recall Cole ever dunking. Great player, just nowhere near the athlete that Boat was.
Is Hurley?
I don't know why people on here would make up stories about what Hurley did or didn't say to players. They have no idea.
Cause and effect.
Since he isn’t at the tournament today I’d have to imagine him and Kimani are the guys on campus taking care of business today. My knowledge of how the visits go is that they’ll usually fly in to Hartford on Friday and stay over there before spending the remainder of the weekend on campus.
It’s so hard to dunk in games at the height. This is even more true for a two foot jumper like Boatright because it means it’s much harder to dunk on breakaways because you have to gather and slow down before jumping. It’s amazing the amount of dunks he had at uconn. Even Someone like Jackson probably isn’t even close to career dunks as boat.
Newton, a Castle re-class, and then 1 of the available combo/wing guards (Ramey/Young/Richard/Reeves/Carter) would make me quite excited indeed about this upcoming year.
This happens and we are set and deep at every position.
You are debating semantics. Without question Hurley painted a rather bleak picture and both saw the writing on the wall. That’s how this works. Again, maybe Hurley wasnt as blatant but there are many coaches, even hall of famers, that attach a specific number at the year end meetings. End of story.
Clingan is now Agent Don!!
Castle likely wouldn't play, but I wonder if the staff would burn a redshirt on him after Hurley sounded like they regretted that with Floyd. In any case, it seems more likely Castle joins over the winter instead of the fall semester which is what Karaban did. Gives him some extra time to complete his courses and I think it would allow him to play his full senior season
I can understand how a week day game may be more difficult. But on the weekends, when I wake up for a 7:30 am est English Premier League game, I am in my glory.
RJ was not the problem at all, the fact that he was THE guy on our team was moreso it.
You can’t come to campus after fall semester and be able to play your full senior season. It’s one or the other.
He’s in good hands with the player that is “hosting” himI’m guessing the overall sense on the Tristen Newton recruitment is cold??
