Does anyone know if he can come in spring semester like Karaban did? Their school year schedule is different than ours and read the school year ends in December.

My guess would the 7 footer we will have on the roster.
I think we were number 1 or close to it for offensive rebounds the last 2 years. We had our guards crashing the boards. I know it was only an expedition game vs Rhody, but they rebounded us. Not good.

UConn out-rebounded URI 41-40. Until Tom Moore retires there is no need to ever worry about a UConn team rebounding, especially offensive rebounds

Yeah but who’s going to rebound?
I don't know but I'll trust Hurley on this.

“We recruit really good offensive players now and we force them to play defense,” Hurley said. “We force them to rebound the ball like it’s a life-or-death proposition, because ball possession represents life in my mind.”

“It’s hard to win championships and it’s hard to win a tournament like the NCAA Tournament unless you can score,” he said. “It’s hard to get out of the first round if you’re in a rock fight, because you feel enormous pressure in the first round of NCAA Tournament games when you coach at UConn. The best way to mitigate that is to have a high-power offense that can go on runs… to blow up a game because you’ve got firepower.”

Actually Australia is 13 hours ahead now, not 12 hours
Factually, has several time zones. Furphy’s Tasmania is actually 15 hours ahead of EDT now (until EDT’s early Sunday morning fall back to EST; then 16 hour difference).

Source: run far too many %¥#£&€ NY, HK/SG/Shanghai, Sydney meetings. Helpful global meeting resource:

They just made a page for him. If you click and view UConn’s class it shows him 152nd. Not sure if that will change. I agree that he’s certainly far better than 152nd regardless

Could be #152..........if it's the best class in the history of the sport...........:rolleyes:

From what I've seen online, there is a 15 hour differential between Hobart and EST time. It may be 3 hours if you're talking Hawaii and the OZ east coast. The date line is another factor.

I loved Australia, and tried not to factor in my American bias. Termed it "driving on the left" rather than the "wrong" side of the road. :)

As I said, it is 3 hours difference east to west across Australia just at it is 3 hours east to west across the continental U.S. Pretty sure I wrote that clearly.

Zagoria weighs in on Furphy at about 30:45. Says a few things we haven’t heard, including comps. I know we love comps ;).


lol I clicked just to see if they would make a comp that wasn’t a white guy. All we got was Joe Ingles and an out of shape Baylor Scheirmann XD

I swear one of their last videos was calling him a potential one and done and now they’re saying he’s not going to get off the bench next year.
The kid is good, but it’s really hard to imagine where his minutes come from as a freshman. I’m sure he knows the vision.

Are we not going to address the fact that he’s been lying about not being definitely related to the other Furphy?

Rebounding is nothing but effort, desire, and preparation. I don't expect to see any letdown in those areas under Hurley, so I doubt it will be a problem

I’m just more dumping on especially the one guy at sleepers, who clearly has no idea what he’s talking about but needs to fill a segment every time with confident nonsense.
