Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 5199347, member: 1023"] I’m not sure Hurley is adapting all that much. He has been very much a portal guy. Not for everyone but he hasn’t hesitated to bring guys in to fill needs or to add what can help. And for the most part his “development” guys have not really been needed lots of development. Thanks Sanogo, Jackson and Karaban were really good. Needed some development but they weren’t exactly Richie Springs when they got to Storrs. They all basically started as freshmen if not on day 1, by a few games in. McNeeley and Castle were studs. Clingon would have started for 347 of the 350 D 1 programs in the country. (I know somebody is going to correct the number here. Yeah, I know. I’m estimating. It’s the point not the details) Newton, Spenser, Diarra, Cole, all transfers, plus a bunch of others. Maybe somebody made a huge jump freshman to sophomore year but I can’t think who it was. [/QUOTE]
