Nice write up.  Of course the assumption is Hurley can attract the players that fit his system and are solid D1 players that can elevate the program from what took place the last several years.

I have hopes that happens but people and programs don’t survive on hopes.

This start of Hurley’s coaching career at UConn doesn’t surprise me anymore than what I expected this past season after losing MAL and 3 players.

There may be some decent recruits remaining for the upcoming season but there are many programs that have needs.

Last year we watched KO scrambling in April after the defections and every decent recruit went to other programs. DO and AA were brought in because nothing was left.

Hopefully Hurley has more success but if he doesn’t and if JA leaves and AG doesn’t recover Hurley’s job for 2018-19 might be more difficult than some posters are postulating. He and UConn don’t live in a vacuum.  Every coach will use next season’s outcome if it’s bad to recruit against him.
