His range of motion is much improved. He’s off the crutches, on a weightless contraption that allows you to work on the treadmill. He has such a great work ethic, when he is ready to go, he’s going to surprise people.” Akok, who ruptured the Achilles on Feb. 16, is not likely to return to action before midseason. Polley is home in Baltimore doing his rehab, but Hurley expects him to be able to help the Huskies from the start. [SIZE=7][B] Staying in touch[/B][/SIZE] With out on campus workouts, Hurley is trying to keep in touch and keep everybody connected by video conferencing. “It’s hard, that part really stinks,” Hurley said. “We’re used to seeing guys every day, interacting with them, meals, study hall. The secret sauce of our program is the deep connections, and that part has been very, very hard. We have a ZOOM call a week, the point of which is to catch up, but but we’re talking more about personal growth, education. We’re going to start a Web-X call a week, breaking down a different Big East opponent every week, breaking down rosters, just to keep them engaged. But this is the part of the job that I love most, and it’s bad right now. The cornerstone of what we do is building relationships.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
