Kenya Hunter Leaving?

[Storrs South]

Does anyone know how much Griffin makes as Cuse? If its anywhere in the 300k range that will tell us that IU is not looking to extend their budget to pry away Kenya

Private institution so probably not available

Might be just a rumor but would hate to see him go so soon, before he can see the success he’s helped build.

Wait a minute. Is there a team that has won more national championships since 1999 than us? Until that happens we are the #1 March Madness team.

 

[alphasigko]

I think Kentucky has the most tournament wins. UCLA most national championship

I believe that you are correct. IMO most tourney championships beats most tourney wins.

A reasonable position to take.

There is too much momentum here for him to leave unless the money or title were significant. I'm not hearing any rumors except this clown's tweet.

Lets just hope he doesnt take any recruits with him.

Exactly what I was thinking. This would be an odd time to jump ship, especially with the recent success on the recruiting trail. You would think if you put all that work in, you would want to see that through.

Follow-up: hearing good things. Not official. But you should feel good about it.

 

[zls44]

Also this is the last time I try and use an inside joke on you people.

Thanks for running to the Yard with this tweet of no substance.

Oh, there's substance.

poop is a substance

Me thinks Mr. Hunter may be getting a raise at UConn (reading the ZLS tea leaves).

Yeah and tbh Kenya has gotten to the point where he’s due his head coaching gig. If a DMV job opens I’m sure he’s going to be getting looks.

Were you the OP on twitter?

 

[olehead]

Bruiser made 300k/yr, Kenya makes 315k. Unless they’re planning on giving Kenya a huge raise, he’s not leaving the northeast. The reason why he came to UConn was because he wanted to be back on the East Coast..he said that himself when he was hired by Hurley

300k goes a long way in Bloomington.

 

[superjohn]

300k goes a long way in Bloomington.

But you're stuck in Indiana.

 

[gtcam]

UConn is poised to go a long way in the NCAAs

 

[olehead]

But you're stuck in Indiana.

Point well taken.

Lateral move at best. Doesn’t make any sense.

I just looked because I was curious.

Kenya's salary is actually already higher than any of the other assistants already at $315,000. Any substantial raise is going to put him in the top 10 most well-paid assistants in the country. I think that's a signal about his head coaching potential down the road

Kimani and Tom both make 250,000.

Tom at 250 is an absolute steal.

Indianapolis is great and Bloomington is a great town. Outside of that there isn’t much unless you love boating, hunting, and fishing

 

[UconnU]

He’s not leaving, chill out.

 

[alphasigko]

And farming.....

Definitely a cool area but it goes from civilization to middle of nowhere pretty quick. My wife and I went out last year for the UConn football game and had a great time. Outside of a few drunks who tried to start some trouble on our way out of the stadium over our UConn attire, the IU fans couldn’t have been nicer to us. A trip out to Hinkle when we play out there is right on the top of the list for us once things get back to normal

And that differs from Storrs how?

How is it different? You leave Storrs and you're surrounded by the rest of CT., you have Boston 1.5 hours away, NYC a little over 2 hours away, you're surrounded by nice New England towns, beaches aren't far, skiing isn't far. You leave Bloomington and you're surrounded by cow pies.

 

[polycom]

So, a thread gets created from some random twitter use and the OP gets reasonable discussion. But, try to have a basketball discussion on a basketball forum and it devolves into name calling incredible.

You missed the point entirely. When you leave Storrs you are immediately surrounded by cow and corn country. Yes, you eventually drive through it to major cities but Storrs is the very definition of a rural school. Doesn't make it bad or wrong, but it is farm country through and through. They even used to have cows on the campus at UConn. Generally speaking urban schools don't have dairy farms on their campuses.
