Hurley on Ross

[navery12]

I haven't seen anything from Ross that makes me understand this quote. I've also seen nothing from the guys those minutes are coming from so it's a pretty low risk move.

I'd also bet it's equally likely Ross plays 0 minutes tomorrow as 20 despite this quote based on the accuracy of Dan Hurley quotes

When did we forget to get guys stronger?

Let's get Liver King at the 2-guard spot next year.

Oh come on man. I like the young man, but casting him as a dude that’s been wronged is odd at best.

Must've seen my posts lol

The only thing that I am now sure of this year is that two weekly press availabilities for Hurley is at least one more than we need because he has more words than ideas right now.

Tune in next week when we discover which player he’s not going to play any more than he already playing them despite saying the opposite into a microphone.

Too many words from Danny and the team. They ain’t Mohammed Ali. If you talk got to back it up. Say the same with Paige and Geno

Hurley seems to be in the throwing cr@p at walls and hoping something sticks stage of the season.

Your act gets tired after awhile…we get it, you don’t like how the season has gone and the coaches and players suck. The pieces haven’t come together yet as we had hoped. Ross still has an extremely high ceiling. He’s the best athlete we have on the team and he has the highest upside on the defensive side of the ball which is where we desperately need help.

One thing you can say about Ross is the kid always plays 110%. We need him to give 110% effort but slow things down on offense. For all his flaws, he probably has a higher upside than Stewart solely because of his motor.

Sounds like a plea to come back next year, which makes me worried that staff isn’t planning to bring in a transfer wing. Mullins shouldn’t be penciled in as the starting SF nor Ross as his backup. Third string sure.

 

[BFieldHusky]

The staff continues to be very high on him. A lot of it is what they see in practice. Obviously not translating to the games.

Our starting power forward 2025-2026...

Ummm yikes

Just so the rest of us are aware of the plot. We’re at the point in the story where a certain sect of the fanbase is going to find discontent in every word Hurley says because they’re mad he couldn’t 3 peat.

This is a complete nothing burger. He’s trying to motivate his only potential perimeter defender. It’s a Hail Mary. Nothing to see here

Based on productivity, Reed should absolutely be starting. That's the biggest misuse of this roster, imo.

Reed has been worse picking up fouls than Samspon. If you start Reed he will foul out long before you need him in second halves. Hurley knows what he is doing.

 

[Fishy]

Hurley must be seeing something we aren’t, because Ross looks like part of the defensive horror show without the offensive skills of Ball and Stewart.

Somewhere along the way, Reed got a reputation as being a good defender and I’m at a loss to figure out why.

It’s true that he’s a better defensive player than he is an offensive player, but the fact that he’s a dumpster fire on offense does help.

And another segment of the fanbase will be white knighting for Hurley any time they perceive any slight sent his way.

 

[Hi-Low]

We need to win games the next 2 weeks...screw the idea of playing around with lineup at this point. We have 6 guys that are "playable" for extended minutes, the rest Hurley can give a few sporadic (hopefully productive) minutes until they're exposed....that's this years team.

The bench vs SJU (besides Reed).... 27 mins / 2 pts. Nowell has to spell Diarra for 6-8 mins per game because he's the only other PG on the roster. Stew / Ross / Mahaney....can't rely on any of them right now unfortunately so whatever they give is a bonus.

Not sure what motivating your 9th man does at this point. You either play him more moving forward or you don’t, I’m sure he’s motivated to get on the floor already.

I still think it’s more likely he wants Ross to stick around, he did the same thing with Samson when he couldn’t find him minutes in 2022.

Sure. I can buy that. It’s still not really news worthy.

Hurley did say Nowell would get more opportunities. Then gave him 4 and 8 minutes the next 2 games. I bet Ross gets around 10 minutes tomorrow.

 

[uconnfan68]

So who's minutes is he taking?

Imo Stewart hasn't looked great but better then Ross during the minutes he gets. Hell, there was 2 games this season where JStew scored like 9 unanswered but then went silent. I don't see Ross ever being able to get on an offensive stretch like that.

Ross over Stewart seems like a mistake.

He went silent because he was back on the bench.

Ross has gotten double digit minutes around 20 times this season and has really done nothing. He had opportunity after opportunity, so I’m not sure I would compare his situation with Nowell’s.

 

[Deleted at users request]

Just a feeling here. I think if Ross gets extended opportunity we may see a much more aggressive Ross.

Not disagreeing, but who are these players that Dan said will get extended run then?
