Message: [QUOTE="BRS24, post: 4993592, member: 197"] Not sure if this has been shared. Some good Dan Hurley quotes on the who & why of portal recruits.

And there has to have been Zooms, enough phone calls and communications. We're just serious people. We need to bring just serious people in here. Their list of schools, how they've structured visits, how they're handling our conversations, we take that into account before we waste our time, or not waste our time, with certain types of players.”[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][I][/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][I] Hurley has said numerous times over the past couple of months that the goal isn’t to build an all-star team. It is to build a championship team. He’s done it two years in a row now and “three-peat” comes out of his mouth quite often.[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][I][/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][I]“It's people that are either going to fit us or not,”... “There's plenty of transfer portal players that that have a history of not helping their programs max out winning. And that's what we're trying to stay away from, because we are really desperate to win. … We're not bringing in seven players from the portal and throwing them against the wall and seeing what sticks. We're strategic that way.”[/I][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
