Message: [QUOTE="UConnRock, post: 4119728, member: 1024"] UConn made the right move getting Mora here as early as possible. His time spent observing the current team, in the media, and on the recruiting trail is so valuable. If UConn waited a couple of weeks the hiring would have been greatly overshadowed by other hires and firings. Uconn got lots of good press and a jump on late recruiting that hopefully helps with the talent gap. Moorhead would have been a great hire, but he certainly did not bring the charisma and connections that Mora brought to the job. Although I pushed for northeast connections for the new HC, It is actually refreshing to see how Mora has so quickly connected with in-state coaches and teams. His name brought a lot to the table and his personality obviously impresses. [/QUOTE]
