Koby Brea entered the portal. Please please Coach Hurley

[bigknight3]

The attacks on his game are being linked to his person too. Being a less-than-stellar defender doesn't mean you are selfish. It means you lack athleticism, haven't been coached up, or just don't process the game really well.

Brea is a good kid. We wouldn't have been so close to signing him if he wasn't. Yes, he wants NIL money like everyone else. That isn't a crime or a bad character move.

And he isn't a BAD player either, he's just limited. He's like Tyler Polley with a 50% 3-ball. He's not good at much else, but he is damn talented as a specialist. He's going to be really good for some team.

The character concerns aren't just limited to NIL. yes, the stacks may be unwarranted, but in addition to NIL, wasn't it reported that he wanted to win, but winning WHILE being the main contributor so he can showcase his skills was important.

That compared to a team mentally at UConn where AK told Hurley to leave Stewart in cause he was having a great half and that was long as win win AK was happy.

Brea comments and goals may not have been the best match for UConn. Mahaney's quotes about joining the team are a great match!

 

[bigknight3]

Basically he picked Kentucky over nada . All the other schools dropped out. Lol Kentucky

We're in a good place when we can tell a rich man's Tyler Polley that we don't need him

Dreams to 2nd or 3rd reality...

And we have flat pockets. We couldn't afford Brea's NIL

We couldn't afford Brea's NIL and yet outspent them on Mahaney.

Does this mean we are going to get another guy

 

[alexd]

That is one freakin impressive walk.

tbd but he's playing chess and everyone else is playing checkers (notice the background on the bigscreen)

I think that means we're done adding and he's just watching the clock and hoping none of our other guys put their name in.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

One thing that was obvious; we're going to need a bigger trophy case

Yeah I saw that. would be interesting if this is foreshadowing another move...

The NBA lottery pick board only has one open space. Castle and Clingan are going to have to fight over it.

 

[ctchamps]

Hurley has a great sense of humor.

 

[FlippinCrazy!]

The writing was on the wall when entucky-kay hired Pope over Hurley, but Brea picking them over us just solidifies it. They’re just a superior program to ours. Rumor is Brea actually paid UK to go there cuz he wanted to go there so bad. And Hurley can’t win close games; if you don’t count his championships then he hasn’t won any championships.

Place looks awesome. Wish I were much younger, taller, stronger, more athletic, better shooter, better ball handler, better passer, better rebounder, basketball smarter. If not for the lack of those small things, I’d so be there…

 

[superjohn]

Haha, he's such a weirdo.

 

[HuskyInfinity]

Man this is some next level troll ish I can’t get enough

 

[martyn]

One, that makes no sense. Two, why do folks feel the need to denigrate someone we looked at just when for whatever reason he doesn't end up here? I really don't get it.

It makes "no sense", and denigrates, if it's incorrect. From what I've read, including here, it is correct.

 

[Kembafan]

Why is there no wall outlet for that TV? Somebody tape down the cord at least! Somebody's gonna trip on it and break their face.

 

[NJHusky]

Who cares what Kentucky fans say? If UCONN wanted him they could have had him....

What’s Brea going to say… I really wanted to go to UConn but the wouldn’t take me?

 

[ctchamps]

I’m just happy we’ve moved on from Syracuse fans.

 

[nomar]

Welp that was a minute of my life I'm not getting back

 

[Hunt for 7]

I think that means we're done adding and he's just watching the clock and hoping none of our other guys put their name in.

And if you are correct one would have to wonder who he might be concerned about. I will not speculate as I understand that is frowned upon on the board. Here’s to hoping this means he waiting on one more. If that happens before the portal closes I guess then if there is time left before it closes then we go back to question #1. It really is the Wild West Portal…

 

[alexd]

Yep, but they are sure that UConn always gets lucky with our draw. Every. Time.

 

[Woodson]

Yes. I do. I said that multiple times in my post and multiple other times in this thread.

Followed by “But..” each time lol
