Everybody loves dan Hurley except apparently our current recruits

Because the ratings are really fuzzy at that point.

We'd rather have some stud guards, which Hurley will be able to get here. We don't need project guards.

Our one prior PG commit is apparently very underrated, and he's proving that by getting offers from a lot of quality schools since his decommittment (Zona, Indiana, UVA, Maryland, Texas, Georgetown, Baylor, Cal, Coloroda, etc etc) And he's a 4star fwiw.

We've got a ton of serviceable bigs, so a well rated on is the only guy we'd really want to keep.

Could be a Coloroda Buffola :oops:

So let me get this straight. Certain Uconn fans are furious that their top 100-150 guard has decommited. Then mad today that some unranked big has decommited as well. But the only player you would want in URI’s class is the top 70 player and not the top 100-150 guard? Or the two others guys that are fringe top 150 players? Perspective has been lost on this board.

Your program is so inferior to ours I don’t know why I’m even dignifying you with a response.

What I am learning from this thread:

Akinjo decommitted and if you liked Kevin Ollie you had to be a crappy basketball player.

I’m all caught up now.

Hey Mau
Figured that one out??? LOL!!!!

I've read during the tournament some say UConn should have players like URI and now some are arguing with URI posters that URI players aren't good enough for Dan Hurley or UConn
The 3 recruits who recanted on UConn were good for UConn in one way or another, now that they aren't coming they aren't good enough for Dan Hurley or UConn but ok for KO
Fully understand that UConn and URI are not on the same level but then again, Dan Hurley hasn't recruited at that level
Glad it appears Tom Moore is returning because he is a vet at recruiting at this level and hoping that Dan Hurley's dad can lend a hand at reaching out to some of these 4* kids. If that happens I am quite sure that Dan Hurley can instill his work ethic and meld them into an up-tempo team that he is talking about. That would be fun
Not certain like quite a few here ascertain but very hopeful. First, he needs the horses so let's get out and rope them in.

its crap like this that pisses me off:
if a kid is married to the idea of playing for Kevin Ollie and no one else, then you have to question that kid's intelligence

Kevin Ollie is no longer UConn's basketball coach, get over it.

From a purely basketball standpoint: I can't believe there are real, mostly-developed humans that worry about whether Kevin Ollie recruits are coming to play basketball at UConn next year.

I can't believe you're alive and here on Earth.

I can’t believe the morans who have such a hard time with people offering their opinion on a kid who wanted to be a Husky!

Lol this place is so fd up.

Oh crap superjohn has spoken stop talking about the ex-coach, unless you’re mentioning how much he sucked for the last 3 years that’s acceptable.

Had to listen to you for a year throwing tantrums whenever people told you Ollie was in way over his head. Figured once he was fired you, gtcam, and others would knock it off. Haven't mentioned Ollie since his firing other than to say, move on.

Meh, I'm worried about a PG decommiting for sure.

Our situation is kinda frightening right now. We have three guards. Adams is not guaranteed to come back; probably will but all it takes is one agent or GM to bark in his ear. There's no guarantee that AG makes it through a season.

There's a concievable scenario where Adams leaves, AG gets hurt, and we would be left with 1 guard and no pg.

Obviously I expect them to fill a position, whether it's a young guy or grad transfer or two, but we still aren't in the best of spots at guard right now.

These were Chill’s Blaze guys - wouldn’t be shocked if one or two follow him somewhere.
Just one Blaze recruit left - Sid Wilson - I was told he is staying. I think the difference is he’s actually been at UConn for a year. Hurley name has meaning since he’s a NY Metro guy,
Expand ...
Is there a list of schools and a real or likely next destination for Chill?
I’d guess so, but would also guess it might take longer than recruits have.

Well, the year after coaching catastrophes tend to go like that.

That's why people try to avoid them.

But there's also a little bit of a toughness problem in this program, too. The majority of the blame - like 70% of it - rested on Ollie's shoulders. The kids shared their fair share, too though. Hurley was pretty direct. We'll find out who wants to be great. He's always run and will continue to run a program that's not for everybody. That's a good thing. Time for the kids to be accountable. A couple will step up and thrive. A couple will find their way. A couple will go through the motions and sit on the bench next year. And some will quit/leave or decide not to come at all.

And then onwards and upwards with whatcha got that works.

Like or not it’s still here, the crap he left and some players who will still wear the uni for the new Coach Hurley. His name will come up and I hope it bothers you every time it does. While I was hoping somehow he wasn’t over his head and hoping the team I love won games you were patting yourself on the back as they lost games. If you’re proud of that congrats to you that makes you quite the man.

Oh and I will move on when I feel like it not when you tell me that’s for sure.
 
Why hasn't Hurley landed a 5 star yet????? What is this guy doing? Has he even moved into Ollie's office yet??

You're really honorable with your constant trashing of college kids, good look.

Nice comeback sj, you’re a fraud. With that agenda of yours you haven’t even talked about actual basketball what would you know.

What's crazy in all of this is my resentment towards Ollie and the past staff has grown in the week since Hurley was hired.

Personally I couldn't wish a single, bad thing on the guy, ever.

But I'm not surprised people snapped out of things quick with only a few basic views and interactions with a guy who actually knows what he's doing. I've said it a million times - it's going to be borderline hilarious when Hurley gets 20-25 wins pretty easily with Ollie's guys *assuming* he can get the majority of them back. I think it's going to hit people like a brick and if you think that backlash was bad now, I'd bet my life there's some 'Can you believe how bad Kevin Ollie actually was' thread circulating around Bone Yard in a few months to recap it all.
 
Lets see how well Hurley recruits before we anoint him a savior. If the 3 players who decommitted aren't good enough it is on his shoulders now to bring in players that are better. He seems to have the energy to get it done and maybe he has a plan. I hope so.
