Hurley Article on next years roster

[Palatine]

I don't see the big deal. I read on the boneyard he isn't that good.

 

[AdamaNation]

Yeah, best for everyone that he moves on. There really isn't anything more he can learn in college and we can't afford for him to not learn it.

When he is playing for a paycheck he will either fix the holes in his game or he won't be playing for pay.

Thing is Larrier would still be looking to the end of the year if he was to come back and where he might go in the draft. I feel like ANY coach at this point would sound like the teacher from Charlie Brown.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Cox would be a horrible hire for URI. They are on a upswing. They don’t need a first time guy learning how to run a program on the fly. No matter how well he recruits

Eh not so sure. Chris Mack, Fred Hoiberg, and Mark Few are all coaches who went straight from assistant to head coach at decent programs. If URI is serious about their facility upgrades, Cox could be successful.

Of course, there are plenty of examples to the contrary: Isaiah Thomas at FIU, Drexler at UH, even KO to an extent. But is Cox that much more of a risk than anyone else on their radar?

I hear their AD is a big cox fan

 

[Lefty2one]

Is it standard practice to document all the coaches making home visits? I bet K wouldn't pose for a picture, if he was there.

If a coach wants a kid bad enough to do an in-home visit, he's not going to let something as trivial as a selfie get in the way. He'd take the picture.

 

[Ewekon]

It is mostly politics. Good to stay away.

I didn't know it still existed

 

[HuskyHawk]

Relocated so that the smell doesn't waft this way. Haven't found the new site. Don't need to.

 

[Confident Carl]

Causal fan here with a two cent opinion. This team needs at least one new PG recruit and at least two if Adams does not return. Anything else Hurley accomplishes this off season with the roster is a bonus (adding one big man).

Here are some PG grad transfers that may be available, obviously not sure:

Cheddi Mosley, Boston University
GoTerriers.com | The Official Site of Boston University Athletics

Joseph Chartouny, Fordham
Joseph Chartouny - 2017-18 Men's Basketball Roster - Fordham University

Keyshawn Woods, Wake Forest

Justin Coleman, Stamford.

Miles Reynolds, Pacific.

Whoa Carl, thats way too much work for me to read through your internet dredgings. I'm a causal fan when it comes to MBB. I wait until I read my program during the first tv timeout to find out whose on the roster. Tip of the day, score more points if you want to be certain to win!

Coleman seems interesting to me.

Woods doesn't seem like a PG. But he can shot. I'd be happy to get both. But we'd need someone to move on to do so.

 

[olehead]

Doubt he'll return - but nice to see Hurley reach out to Larrier.

If he comes back, he would have to enroll in grad courses right?

 

[intlzncster]

Nah, it's modus operandi now. Social media baby.

 

[intlzncster]

Yes. Of course, he could grad transfer anywhere else too.

He's going pro tho, I'm not sure why the big discussion. He indicated as much before the season, and then announced it after. Probably would have tried last year if not for the ACL.

[amsterdamjade]

isnt Akinjo's scholarship open?

 

[David 76]

I was kind of hoping Cobb and a forward or two (of my choosing) would leave. That would give us some room to work with..

 

[intlzncster]

isnt Akinjo's scholarship open?

Yes.

 

[Obrero]

nobody on the roster can shoot or play defense. aside from that, they're good...

 

[CTBasketball]

Maybe Hurley can utilize Larrier the way he used Kuran Iverson.

Who knows. They’re pretty similar players.

 

[ConnEd]

If Cox doesn't get the URI hc job, is he likely to join DH's staff here?

In terms of the roster, it seems to me that a PG has to be top priority. A sniper 2G is next assuming they don't see Matthews in that role. If they don't, then I think there is a real logjam at SF between Wilson, Matthews, and Polley. It may allow them to let one of Polley or Matthews leave given that Wilson seems very committed. Then, I'd fill that ship with that sniper 2G. With JA, AG, and Wilson all being driving/slashing perimeter guys, the knockdown shooter is a must-have.
