Luke Murray Hired as Assistant Coach

[CL82]

Hahahaha true. Husky99 heard the staff wanted this big time and envision an uptick in recruited talent.

See now that’s quality stuff. You’re just one pizza chain endorsement from greatness.

 

[CL82]

Do 19 year olds have any idea who Bill Murray is?

From Zombieland maybe?

 

[Jorgensen]

The rest of the country watching us start to reel in top recruits and make once again

 

[TRest]

Wait. I thought you left. Took your ball and stomped off to TOS. When did you sneak back in? And where’s your pride slinking back?

Pride? He follows Bunkey on Instagram.

 

[UconnU]

i wonder if Ellis is totally sold on Louisville. We could really use another guard who can push tempo and shoot.

Of course, he was the guy who played Bill Murray in Zombieland.

Proud to follow my good friend Bunkey on Instagram. You have a very outdated mindset, and Chief is being kind and will leave it at that.

Keep an eye out for new Hawaiian golf shirts from William Murray Golf with Husky logos. LOL

Chief’s prediction track record puts another Big W in the books.

Most people here think it's an upside down M, but not Chief!
Mad mad mad mad skills.

"Found a neat article from 2009 when Luke was just getting started as a 23yo assistant with Post. Some good UConn mentions in there, including Calhoun. Didn’t realize the roots went any further than his Hurley connections".

LUKE MURRAY, BILL'S SON, COACHES HOOPS FOR POST

WATERBURY Its a contextual thing. If you know Luke Murrays lineage, you can see the resemblance in his face. But if you dont, and you see the first-year Post University mens assistant basketball coach walk into the gym at the Drubner Center in a baggy T-shirt and sweatpants, well, then hes just...

"So somebody like coach Calhoun is more important to me than some movie star. I'm still struck by guys like coach Calhoun and I look up to them. They're what I want to be".

Great post UConNick. This young man is focused. Now he can join Dan Hurley, Moore and be living in the program that JC built. Bleeding blue!

 

[CTBasketball]

Where are all the people on here trashing Hurley for not playing identity politics in this hiring?

 

[Umami Zen]

Shout out to Hans. Has really stepped up his GIF game and has been El Fuego the last few weeks . Clearly putting in the time in the media lab.

Has a promising future in this space.

Did Bobby D leave behind a stock of bucket hats in the bowels of Shenkman? Would be cool student section giveaway

Husky99 is hearing that murray and hurley have a strong connection and great respect.

 

[Ricker]

Be honest. I bet you had trouble writing in the third person.

I'm choosing to take this as a good sign

I could get on board with that one.

Big upgrade here. Freeman was a warrior as a player. Not sure about him as a coach though.

Murray will prove to be a great addition to the staff. Time to replace Nova as the beast of the Big East.

Loved KFree as a player for us, was relentless with his effort on the court! Unfortunately, for whatever reason(s), it didn't seem to translate to the AC position. Hope he's successful in his new role.

That said, Luke M. looks a homerun hire! We already know the talent he can reel in and are already seeing this morning how respected he is among recruits! He has a great basketball mind as well, but it's his attitude and desire that seem to have Dan Hurley most excited! Hurley's words seem to suggest what he thought was lacking in Kelis Fisher's approach.

Regarding Luke, Hurley said, "He has an extremely smart and talented basketball mind and has the commitment level and passion that we need to elevate this program to the championship level where UConn should be."

 

[Palatine]

Good luck to Luke. Now, go bring home the bacon.
