"I think he's got some of that fire that Cam brought to the locker room, to the group. I think he's going to bring that nasty villain that opposing fanbases will find him to be.

He's going to play with that kind of confidence and flair."[/I] This made me laugh: [I]When [URL='https://www.ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-mens-basketball/dan-hurley/']Dan Hurley[/URL] saw he was getting a phone call from [URL='https://www.ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-mens-basketball/article/ncaa-champion-liam-mcneeley-huskies-committed-19417586.php']Liam McNeeley[/URL] at about 4 p.m. on the Fourth of July, he knew it wasn't good news.
