2022 Recruiting: Kyle Filipowski Update

[ZenConn]

! Reel him in fellas!

Kid is a unicorn. Luke Murray would be helpful here.

are we still clinging to that hope?

Hurley has to hire someone at some point. Hoping it is Luke.

 

[husky429]

From a Prep standpoint, yes that is Tom. From an AAU standpoint, Kimani has the relationship with Rens. Murray was one of Kyle's first offers at Louisville and they have a good relationship. Just something to monitor.

I had no idea that Murray recruited Kyle. Great news to hear, presuming we hire him

Has something come out that he’s out of the running?

nope, fingers crossed we get murray. it's just that borge's tweet from last thursday(?) about the "still ongoing search" for an assistant doesnt make it sound like the school is/was simply waiting for his contract to expire on 5/1 before making an announcement.

borges has his head completely buried in the sand if he couldnt even hint at a deal with someone being imminent. so that and the unanimous silence from the insiders (besides chief who says we will hear something early this week) has me anxious .

Yea the longer it goes the more I wonder what’s actually happening, still hoping it’s just a timing thing.

No

 

[Mister P]

Sure appears to be timing.....

1. Murray’s past history working with Hurley
2. Murray’s past in terms of living, playing and coaching in CT.
3. Why have we not heard of any other potential candidates ?
4. With Murray’s stellar reputation for recruiting and coaching I have not seen him linked to any other program since some recent head coaching vacancies were filled.

Confirmed. AmI doing this right?

I just saw the thread !
I wasn’t even aware of it.

 

[husky429]

Saw this... not sure if posted by someone I have ignored yet. Article from this weekend.

6'10, 230lb. Kid dropped 21/6 on Jalen Duren and Dereck Lively, including 8/8 from the line. That's legit.

KYDA Invitational: Recruiting Notebook (May 1)

Josh Verlin (@jmverlin) & Ryan Coyle (@ryancoyle35) SCRANTON, Pa. — The Electric City was buzzing with hoops energy it hadn’t felt in decades (if ever), as a high-level offseason hoops event drew top talent to Riverfront Sports for the KYDA Invitational. Programs from all three major summer ‘s

Don't think it's a coincidence that Kyle is planning on chillin' in Storrs in June

 

[Ricker]

After reading that article, I bet our coaches will be camped at NY Rens, Team Final, & Boston Spartans games. Getting a mix of the key talent from those teams would be AWESOME. Secret code: "Number Five"

Dude, you predicted it...such an insider!

 

[Chin Diesel]

Do yourself a favor. Watch.

Hurley needs to reel this one in.

Troy Murphy????

 

[BuffaloHusky]

Troy Murphy????

That's a good comp.

 

[Slick]

That's a good comp.

Yes that’s pretty good. You could also say a much better shooting Billy Curley.

 

[Sachem]

This kid could play on the Celtics right now

 

[TRest]

Yes that’s pretty good. You could also say a much better shooting Billy Curley.

My memory of Curley was a low post bruiser.

 

[Waquoit]

My memory of Curley was a low post bruiser.

Who could pass and finish. He went to the Elite 8 with a bunch of guards.

 

[UCfor3]

Anyone remember Keith Van Horn? Played at Utah under Majerus. Not saying he's as good as Van Horn, but off the highlights his game looks similar.

Curley was a load. Very talented.. IIRC- JC and Howie were going after him pretty hard to come to Storrs before he decided on BC..

Because he is tall and white.

 

[UCfor3]

Because he is tall and white.

Nope. It's the way he moves and shoots. There are 100 tall white guys between the mid 90's and now that I could have named but I didn't. A couple weeks ago someone posted a highlight of a lefty player that moved herky jerky and shot just like Harden.
