I think Hurley just realizes the two most common mistakes young guards make when the jump to college are over-dribbling and holding the ball.  In high school, many of these kids are asked to create offense much more often than trusting the flow of the system.  
Sometimes, we can be spoiled by a guy like Kemba who just had/has a freakish combo of a quick first step, acceleration and strength with the ball.  Even he struggled at times when he first got to college.

The thing I just want to see the most is players getting better each year while they are in the UConn program.  I've said it before.  This was one of JC's great strengths as a head coach, and one of Ollie's biggest failures in the same position.  That said, I think Gaffney being stronger helps him forward and hoping like crazy there is a season because with unselfish players like Bouk, Gaff, Jackson... and the pool of big men, this could be one of the most exciting and enjoyable teams to watch in a long time.  Also, Polley's return will help open the floor up even more.
