“Recruiting New Jersey and the metropolitan area is a huge part of our recruiting plan, the strong footprint that we want in terms of the geography of our approach,” Hurley, a Jersey City native and former Seton Hall standout and Rutgers assistant coach, said this week on a Zoom call in response to a question from NJ Advance Media.

“Guys that play high school and AAU and grassroots ball in Jersey, they have the makeup. They’ve got toughness, they’ve got the edge to come and play at a place like UConn, and handle the pressure and expectations of playing at a place like UConn.”

Brings a smile to Chief’s face. This is why I said awhile ago, it’s a good thing the Setan Hall coach hates us. That means our coaches are successful recruiting in Jersey. Chief is just along for the ride and enjoying every second of it.
