Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[Drew]

It’s not doubtful. It’s a fact. Luke was there to try to recruit him to come back. You can literally read it word for word, from our NIL Director

I'm a subscriber. I read it. I just don't believe it all as gospel like you do.

Then you’ll believe nothing.

 

[champs99and04]

I would think this is good news.

 

[huskidork]

That’s good. But then why would Luke need to recruit Dan on Saturday night at the Billy Joel concert if it was 70/30? I hope someone is making a documentary on this saga.

I guess it's to make 1000% sure he's back, either way this saga has sucked and I just wanna get on

 

[HuskyFich]

My bet is we’re waiting on the announcement that Dan Hurley has turned down the Lakers AND has agreed to a new contract extension with UConn. Probably waiting on finalizing that piece.

 

[Henry]

If the waiting is killing us, can you imagine what the kids on the team are dealing with.

I'm sure it's true that there was no official contact until March 2018, just like I'm sure there was no official contact between St. John's and Kadary Richmond prior to him entering the portal. People talk to people and that's the way these marriages develop. I'm not ascribing anything to Hurley or UConn's behavior here that's not the norm. If you want to change jobs, this is how you have to do it.

I followed that Rhode Island team fairly closely. They were 21-3 in mid-February before dropping 5 of their final 10. It wasn't a bad season by any stretch, but not your typical Hurley team that played their best ball late. The 30-point home loss to St. Joe's in late February is the game that really sticks out to me as the red flag.

Again, I don't have a problem with the way Hurley has departed any of his prior jobs, and I don't have a problem with how he's leaving this one if that's in fact what he does. But I've watched fan bases go through a lot of these and it pretty much always follows the same script. The fact of the matter is that there is rarely a good way to leave a job in this business, particularly if the job you covet wasn't yet available when it would have been most convenient to everyone else

So what you’re saying is because you watched a lot of URI games and since they didn’t play well down the stretch he was obviously already talking to UConn. To say this is nothing more than a theory from you is kind of a ridiculous claim to make.

Trilly and zags using storrs central as their sources is chefs kiss

Just got a notification from Woj that “Hurley is strongly considering LA” and in the same notification “it’s his if he wants it”. Do these not contradict themselves?

 

[CL82]

Is your Psychology degree from Facebook University?

Ah, ol' F.U.

No, they do not.

 

[Woodson]

A Billy Joel concert being in the middle of all this is … something

 

[aburks41]

The players are gonna be so mad if this continues to drag on. This is impacting their future and every day it goes on is one less day they have to make a decision for themselves (if Hurley goes to LA)

 

[Tenspro2002]

This seems like Hurley negotiating with UConn and not rushing that process. And the fact that he's not imposing a strict deadline/ultimatum would also suggest that he wants to get a deal done to stay. This is exactly what I expected from the beginning.

 

[Jaydumo20]

I'd hate to bring this up again. But it needs to be mentioned often, if Woj is accurate in saying that it's not yet clear.
DH did say re: Karaban's decision:
'If there is any indecision and it's not perfectly clear then it's not time to move'.
Give me an angry face, say I'm taking it too personally or whatever, but DH is not following his own advice at all.
That is 100% apparent

 

[BPT2Storrs]

No, they do not.

Yeah. Bad post on my part. The notification was just odd to me - Of course it’s his job if he wants it.

 

[jostar1]

Then you’ll believe nothing.

I subscribed. So far I haven't been impressed with the so-called insider information. YMMV.

 

[huskidork]

if it is true Luke is trying to get Hurley 100% on board that's great of him and he's shown some real loyalty to our program, could've been a major head coach by now, but has been sticking it out.

 

[champs99and04]

No. It just means the ball is in his court.

 

[AllHusky]

So looks like Hurley will be going to LA

???

The longer this goes on the better.

If he was gonna take the money and run we would either know by now or any minute.

Painful as hell for all of us, but I really every additional minute makes the odds he stays better.

Keep making us suffer Danny!!!

I'd love to believe that.
Or...have you ever decided you were gonna break up with someone. But it took you a few days to break the news because you had to prep yourself for the blowback?
This could go so many ways

The worst policy a boss can have is to tell an employee Friday morning, "We need to talk. Monday after lunch."
