Filling The Final Roster Spot (according to Hurley)

So the sense I get is that we’re in wait and see mode. Staff wants to hold that scholarship for kids that enter the portal after the rule change passes. It will be interesting.
 
I am a stars guy, I hate it when coaches down play stars. It sounded like Randy quote.

I think his quote was mor about Tyrese and not the next scholarship. Did anyone ask him for context?

This is from Thursday as well, but I hadn’t seen the part about Springs.

Is Richie Springs good to go for next year?
“Yes. We’re excited about Richie. Right now, he helps us more at the four spot. He’s young, still developing physically. He does one thing that’s very hard to teach and that’s rebound out of his area and trace the ball. He does that incredibly well on the offensive end and can do it well on defense too. He’s a quick jumper and very athletic, so the year was very good for him, just like it was for Akok.”

In the article Danny nails it. It’s tough not getting guys on campus. When we do, they realize we have a good thing going. Throw in a LeBron owned Blaze custom pizza and things are good.

Lol. Hurley also subscribes to the Blaze strategy?

Perfect analysis of that beauty of a game!
Thank God for Tim Higgins, he let our Bigs play. I agree Wane and Saunders used about 10 fouls each on Brand. thankfully, most weren’t called. Jake and KFree played tough ball too. Chief got to the Ohio State game early on Saturday and met up with Ricky’s dad, we were both there outside the arena maybe 3 hours before tipoff. He was very optimistic as was Tate George - who was at the Channel 3 truck. We were all so pumped up we could hardly contain ourselves. That was the greatest weekend of basketball I ever experienced / second and third would be the Kemba’s 2011 Big East tournament and the 2014 NCAA tournament at MSG. 2004 in San Antonio was wonderful but we had a NBA team that year -so it was expected.
 
It is part of our recruiting visit as the diary bar was in another era. Where do you think Jackson and his mom went to eat?

Speaking of
That was Billy Packer and that was probably the only compliment he ever gave UConn and was wrong.
Speaking of Packer one of his pregame musts for Duke was Brand kicking back to an open shooter after an entry pass. Duke had three pretty decent shooter.

We pretty much shut that down with a double team
If Elton Brand the National Player of the year and long time successful NBA player couldn’t pass out of the double than maybe UConn fans are a bit harsh on a much lesser player like Carlton having the same difficulty

It was a double Big on Brand.
 
F Billy Packer. The guy was an insufferable boob that brought nothing to the game as an analyst. And somehow thought he was God’s gift to the college basketball world. He was master of the obvious, ZERO insight guy. Still trying to figure out who he blew at CBS all those years to keep that gig.

Packer was the anti Chris Smith..He called his crossover was a carry all the time...hated him..

Or, perhaps Voskuhl, Freeman, Wane, Saunders and even Klaiber were that good!
