Luke Murray Hired as Assistant Coach

[UconnU]

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

 

[UconnU]

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

We have the worst beat writers they don’t know shit 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

 

[husky99]

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.

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

 

[Umami Zen]

Still waters run deep. The Carpenter nails it again. Maybe Dan Hurley is just playing poker with the BY.

Time for the BY to relax and enjoy the ride.

You guys are wasting too much energy on the wrong stuff. Have a good summer.

Not surprised that Jon R broke the news. Are you?

I’d like to take this opportunity to confirm Chief’s confirmation of the UConn Press Release!

 

[Chin Diesel]

Today's announcement confirms what my sources told me two weeks ago which I posted in what I can only guess is a now deleted thread.

My sources were solid and definitive that Hurley would announce a hire shortly after the job posting reached its closing date.

There better be a group of students dressed in Ghost Busters uniforms in the student section when Bill comes to a game lol

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

 

[mussels]

We’ve had a sprinkling of good recruiting classes lately, but I don’t think the heavy stuff is gonna come down for a while.

 

[aburks41]

Isnt it a good thing the national guys get the scoops first? They’re important to keep on our side because they have a larger audience.

honestly the only thing the beat writers are good for are game previews and getting access to player interviews. Our own BY insiders provide us with all the scoops anyways

 

[Mr. French]

Confirmed.

@BigErnMcCracken I’d suggest logging out for the comedic value of this thread as well.

@BigErnMcCracken 's avatar foretold this years ago, but don't expect Chief to acknowledge that little tidbit. Some people have a funny relationship with giving, receiving, and sharing credit properly.

Are we getting a sharp shooter for next year?
Assistant coaches mean squat unless you have the correct blend of talent and fill in holes where needed
The clock is ticking

Welcome to UConn (again) Luke - now it's time to get to work, maybe Dan Hurley was waiting until you arrived? What you got up your sleeve?
Quality hire in name value and a bit of a proven record, that's for sure
Quinnipiac, Post College, Xavier (1 season, Wagner, URI and Louisville - he's been around so he's seen, experienced a good deal

Jeeze I hope so. I like to think of Bill Murray as timeless.
