Luke Murray Hired as Assistant Coach

[Hogoff]

Do you think Bill Murray says “Luke, I am your father” in Darth Vader voice?

Probably!

 

[Vuce]

Does this mean Bill Murray is gonna come to our games

That’s a fact JACK!

awesome. borges needs a new hobby because i don't think he can count beat writer as his job anymore

A lot of @Matrim55 smiles coming for 2022. Hopefully Luke will jumpstart our offense as well.

welcome.

Well I guess Hurley's time working with Murray really paid off. Grear hire from all accounts. Though this hire doesn't sound like it enlarge our geographical reach with recruits.

To be fair most local reporters for UConn are getting their ass handed to em with National guys. Don’t think it’s their fault. Seems to be the trend nationally. The articles they write are really good tho. Minus one .

Hurley hinted that hiring Luke would do so. And I mean if you think about it in absolute terms, I'm positive Luke has more national connections than Kevin Freeman did.

Luke Murray is the best recruiter on this staff right now, and Kimani and Tom are no slouches. Homerun hire.

i know louisville is in kentucky (a midwestern/Appalachian/southeastern state yadda yadda yadda) but by virtue of being in the ACC they were recruiting players from the south atlantic i.e. virginia through the carolinas and into FL. imo he represents a logical/gradual expansion of our recruiting footprint southwards.

Okay more focus on Luke.

He signed Aidan Igiehon as the primary recruiter as a 5* at Louisvlle. Beat us out in the process.

Player didn't work out, but the pull is real.

Louisville’s recruiting went bonkers with him on their staff. We lost El Ellis to him too.

While I'll always be a Kevin Freeman fan this is a big upgrade. I hope we can keep him for at least a few years

We have the worst beat writers they don’t know or are towing the program line in unison. I wish I got paid to retweet things.

Talent wins. And Luke Murray brings in talent. Simple as that.

Now, if what Vecenie said is true and he could also be the kind of guy to jumpstart our offense? Even better.

It’s been confirmed.....that Bill Murray chugs hot sauce

Confirmed
I know, no surprise but Confirmed nevertheless.
Update - see the press release.
By first week in May as Chief predicted. In fact first “business day”.

A few of thus also called this chief

Outside of the job posting expiration date last week, pervasive rumors it would be Murray, and widely reported fact that Murray’s contract with Louisville expired on Saturday, how could anyone have possibly predicted an accurate 1.5 week window for when the hiring would be finalized without ultimate connections?

Alright then, it seems that your job is done. Have a nice life and don't let the door hit you on the backside on your way out.😂

These are both outstanding jabs.

It’s really uncanny.
