He spent some years putting out fires, developing guys, earning a reputation, developing a culture. So though his year two recruits were his guys, he hadn’t yet established a track record so he couldn’t attract the best possible recruits. This year‘s recruiting class and next year’s recruiting class are downright nasty, I think he’s going to do pretty well with them. The uptick in recruiting seems to correspond with year-to-year improvement. Let that compound for a few more years, I’m optimistic. So much negativity. I wish someone could legally set up an exchange with one simple bet … “will UConn make the S16?”. All those who say we are going nowhere should put their $ where their mouths are and have to bet no … not just vent their negativity. Instead of posting the same stuff again and again, people can put more and more money on their side of that bet. Me, I’d lay even money that UConn will play in the Sweet 16 this year. And Hurley’s quote, who cares? If Hurley said all of the right things, was 3 inches taller, and super smooth and handsome, he’d probably be somewhere else. He’s one of the few guys I suspect can do really well and have no intention of leaving Connecticut. [/QUOTE]
