Hurley after Cincinnati: “Leash is going to be a lot shorter”

[uconngb]

Hasn’t he already said this like 5 times???

[TRest]

Okie dokey

 

[UConnSwag11]

Should been earlier but we’ll see

 

[HoopsHype34]

Please oh please let it be
Gaffney
Bouk
Adams
Akok
Carlton

 

[uconnever]

about time I’ve been waiting for this. AG is blessed with a lot of athletic gifts and he is wasting them with his poor decisions. All the tools to be successful and he just won’t simplify things.

 

[navery12]

Nice, finally we'll get Whaley starting over Carlton

 

[Devland]

Okay- but there's not much on the bench either. Just because it's different doesn't mean it's better.

 

[TRest]

He will make the easy play and pull Polley as a starter.

 

[tuvent08]

Good, now follow through.

And the countdown until the emo Instagram posts from the players has begun.

 

[Jaker]

I guess he means Sid won't suit up at all??

 

[Chin Diesel]

Show me and I'll believe it.

Signed,

Thomas from Missouri.

I agree. I think Dan Hurley is fed up with Polley’s overall game.

 

[Jbirdp5]

He made a lot of changes throughout the course of the game tonight and nobody raised the bar when they went in by much, to me Gaffney is nowhere near ready to lead the team offensively and is even further behind defensively. Brendan Adams doesn’t take care of the ball well enough to run the team.....

haha that happens with every team in college and high school anyway. I’m ready to dissect some drake lyrics with you guys soon

 

[SaeHusky]

Polley is not the problem.

 

[Jbirdp5]

Polley is not the problem.

He didn’t score in the game......that’s part of the problem

What gifts though exactly? He’s a fairly quick but short point guard who doesn’t exhibit the explosiveness he did in high school. I think some people on the board vastly overrate his current athleticism.

I hate when adams penetrates in the half court. First step isn’t great and he forces it. It works sometimes against bad teams. But as a spot up shooter, fast break finisher and tough defender he should definitely have a role, just not at starting pg.

 

[Woodson]

Uh, exactly which player had earned any leash at all to begin with???

 

[TRest]

I agree. I think Dan Hurley is fed up with Polley’s overall game.

But it’s not the necessary play. AG has to sit until he shows he will only take 3 open shots a game.

Agreed once he puts the ball on the deck it’s usually a bad decision

 

[navery12]

Lol at Polley being the problem

 

[UConnSwag11]

Polley isn’t the problem.

The funny thing is, he's been using his athleticism for lockdown D. Its just not working on his drives, he hasn't mastered a pull up or floater, his 3's haven't been falling and his decision making has been questionable.

hard to argue that AG does

 

[tentoes4rings]

Polley isn’t the problem.

He had ZERO points and one rebound as a junior “leader”. That’s not part of the problem?? He wouldn’t be my choice to replace in the starting lineup but when he’s not getting open looks from 3, his value is nonexistent.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Polley is not the problem.

Lol at Polley being the problem

Polley isn’t the problem.

He might not be THE problem. But having us start 4 against 5 isn't doing us any favors. Wrong game to rush and defend him.

 

[mauconnfan]

You guys need to be careful with throwing all the blame one guy. Bouk and Gaffney were burnt on D many times tonight neither guard very well in half court and we need to think about that. And Adams will never be a PG please stop that craziness. He's a tough kid coming off the bench that's where he belongs. Gaffney wasn't good in the first half at all just like everyone else. Josh Carlton was a disaster on both ends in the first half. His defense and over hedging made people rotate and people were wide open as he was dreadful chasing Vogt and Sorello continuously too far. Akok couldn't catch a pass and his first shot of the game he never even faced the basket it was like a hot potato when he caught it. I mean until Vital ended the half ok, there was absolutely no one who deserved any thatta boys!

We're just not that good I'm afraid. I don't like where are going to be after the next few games I will be honest.
