Scooped the yard by 9 minutes!

Welcome Jordan. You are joining a team with a great coaching staff, one that's focused on preparing their players for life, whether it be in basketball or some other chosen path.

Love that he chose Ray for his vid. Good player for him to model his game after.

He must be a fan of Rays.

His video is short but shows all his skills, acknowledges his personal journey, and points to the UConn player he wants to emulate.

If JC and JH were doing a presser together and all we had was audio the only way I could distinguish who was speaking would be by the one using four letter words.

“The Big East is a great conference. I feel like the conference is best for me...”

Prob should have stayed in the AAC

 

[Mr. French]

I'd like to dislike this considering we are the bluest of bloods.

3 straight classes with legit NBA talent. Hurley and the staff are killing it. Lets go Huskies!

 

[HuskyHawk]

Love it. Like I said before, we are here to stomp all over the rest of the Big East, like Godzilla emerging from the pacific and walking into Tokyo.

@Palatine in shambles

I don’t think we can overstate how important the conference move has been for us.

I thought the crystal ball hype died down?

This could be the steal of the class. Reminds me a lot of James Bouknights recruitment. If his recruitment went into the spring, he would be getting offers from Duke, Carolina, etc.

I love Dan Hurley more than I love my wife.

I would never post something like this. And it has nothing to do with the fact she lurks and knows my handle.

BTW, we now have the #13 ranked class on 247. If you add in Samson Johnson, that puts us at #4 in the country. This staff man

Me too, but your wife is a close second.

Plus you don’t steal when you know how to “stock pick” and are buying low.

 

[Blue Blood]

The fact that we can land these recruits BEFORE making it back to national relevance and regular tourney appearances should scare the hell out of the rest of the conference.

This also won't hurt in our recruitment of Rodney Rice, a 4-star Guard who just transferred to Dematha and also plays for Team Durant.

Well done!

I love Dan Hurley more than I love my wife.

That's good because I just forwarded this to Andrea.

 

[tuvent08]

I love that he says that he wants to stay for one or maybe two years and just be developed as a player/person. No nonsense or BS. You bring in this type of high level talent and this is what you're going to get. I LOVE IT.

Love this staff. Recruiting essentially got easier for them wth the conference move and instead of just relying on thay, they’ve mashed the gas pedal down

This is awesome. Good for him. And there you have it, they’re clearly fitting him to a similar path to Bouk’s.

 

[HuskyFich]

Is anyone else reading the tea leaves of how our 2021 recruits are mentioning Andre Jackson as a teammate?

Seems Hurley is pushing the narrative that he'll be around.
