Birdman is saying that our Dooley (President) loves Joe Dooley, that he wanted to hire him 6 years ago ahead of Dan. Now we find out that he did interview this morning and his ECU deal is not done. We'll see.

This is an interesting twist...could there be more to this than just Joe Dooley's agent looking to squeeze more cash out of ECU? Could the URI president actually prefer Dooley over Cox? ;)

I love the hire.

Before some knucklehead finds it and makes it a thread - Young served a year in prison about 20 years ago on a marijuana charge. He also lost his wife ten years ago and raised three kids by himself.

He’s had a very Caron-like rebirth.

Meh, I don't think that is even illegal anymore.

Im already giddie with excitement but if we can pull in Cox ill lose my mind. This is setting up so much better than i ever couldve imagined. I feel like we`re putting together a sort of dream team coaching staff. Im already imagining all the jokes being made here about Cox pulling in Akok and Cockburn.
On a serious note Uconn could be heading into a second renaissance that could even surpass the greatness of the first. Sorry, i know im getting really ahead of myself.

Bless your heart -- after two decades running this site you still think you can prevent people from making unnecessary, duplicate threads.

While we're at it, let's get New Heights alum Moses Brown to decommit from UCLA and stay local.

Great hire. I will admit that having Young is excellent back up in case Cox does get the URI job..Young is a very solid at recruiting and has a background that will connect with NYC players. This is the first strong move I have seen from a Hurley, and its a good one.
 
This stuff is getting me way too excited.

Lecque looks like he can be a player immediately, and ALL of this shapes up nicely for both short and long term.

Trying not to get giddy but it’s been a bit since I’ve felt this many good dots being connected to our powerhouse program.

Lecque doesn’t follow many people on Twitter, but he follows Kimani Young.

He also follows a bunch of random UConn fan accounts too which is kinda wild. Didn’t see him following very many other fan accounts

For an alternative view, he got busted selling 96 lbs! That takes some serious inititiative, a go-getter spirit which we've been lacking in Storrs for a while now. Welcome aboard Kimani!

That's a lot of weed. Most I've ever seen in person is 26lbs and 22lbs. Still, so what. He did his time let him live. Hope this doesn't become some thing like these become in Connecticut. Think the Correy Edsall saga.

I know nothing about this guy but if he's solid NYC then that's real good but I thought Coach Dan Hurley's dad could cover that territory like a blanket - he knows everyone in the area
Minnesota hasn't had much success but that probably has more to do with Pitino Jr
If this guy can reel in some tasty NYC kids - great
NYC has always been good to UConn in the glory days

The URI board also told me Hurley was staying there because he wanted to coach at a place where they had chartered flights and a practice facility and they're going to have that in five years if enough people donate $20.18.

I don't think anyone knows for sure when the info is legit...but hadn't seen anyone mention that before about Dooley...thought it was pretty relevant and potentially important ...though maybe not quite as much as your news. ;)
 
Edit: JMick deleted his post so I'll delete mine.
