For newest Husky Ahmad Nowell, Dan Hurley and UConn ‘checked all the boxes’

I didn't see this posted (may have missed it) but figured this deserved its own thread. Dom spoke to Nowell yesterday and has some good quotes in here.

“He (Hurley) said so much,” Nowell said, “a lot of things that I agreed with. But one thing he said, ‘he works on winning every day.’ He works every day to try to put himself and his team in a position to win, and that’s what really stuck with me because I love to win, and that’s what I want to be, a winner, and I’m going to do everything out on the floor to win. Hearing that from him, that he works on it, really stuck with me, because we see eye-to-eye on it.”

Ahmad Nowell took one look at the banners and luminaries in UConn’s Werth Center, and heard some magic words from Dan Hurley, and he decided to join the national champs.

What we are seeing with Hurley is excellence in all key areas. Coaching, recruiting, player development, team chemistry... sustained excellence isn't a reach.

sustained excellence isn't a reach.

And it's not an accident. I appreciate the staff's hard work.
