Luke Murray Hired as Assistant Coach

FWIW... these are all the recruits from 2022-2024 that I see in Murray's follows on Instagram. If nothing else, it makes it clear that he is going to expand our recruiting footprint into the mid-west and south... and that he's probably focusing on 2023, outside of getting us back in the mix with Karaban and Filipowski. Seems to have relationships with mid-west EYBL teams, particularly brad beal elite. I may have missed a few, but I think it's fairly complete.

Anyone know if we stand a chance with any of these 4*/5* guys?

2022:

Brandon Miller - #14 5* SF from TN (was recruiting him at Ville)
Jalen Washington - #20 5* PF from Indiana (Murray Primary recruiter at 'Ville)
AJ Casey #21 4* top 30 2022 (Murray noted as his primary recruiter for Louisville)... from illinois.
Kyle Filipowski - #58 4* PF/C from MA
Alex Karaban - #73 4* SF/PF from NH
Dillon Mitchell - 3* SF from Florida
Reid Bailey - Unranked? Goes to Brewster.


2023:

Akil Watson a 5* top 20 2023. From NY.
Kanaan Carlyle - 5* 2023 from Georgia
Mack Mgbako - 5* SF from Jersey
Taylor Bowen - high 4*/5* SF from Newport RI
Taison Chatman - High 4*/5* from MN
Nick Smith Jr. - High 4* SG from Arkansas.
Chance Westry - High 4* combo-guard from PA (goes to school in CA)
Jalen Hooks 4* SF from Indiana
Tre White - 4* SF, 2022 from CA
Kaleb Glenn - 4* SF from Louisville
Ty Rodgers - 4* SF from MI
Aaron Bradshaw - 4* C from NJ
Jeremy Fears Jr. - 4* PG from Indiana
Maki Johnson 3* CG from WV. Only ranked by 247.
Reid Ducharme -SG/SF unranked 2023
Gavin Griffiths Unranked 2023. Goes to KO.
TJ Power - Unranked. From MA.

2024:

Naas Cunningham - 5* SF

they would rather derail every thread because they can’t resist the urge to reply with the same complaint/ mock to every single one of his posts.

He can be incredibly annoying. But the people who make the same complaint over and over are even worse. At least you can find comedic value in his posts. The whiners add nothing.

It’s derailments are classic Boneyard fodder. Hit men driving by it’s house, going to other site to bury the Boneyard, “blaze strategy” months before it opened,...
Great offseason entertainment watching it have mental breakdowns.

I've been getting pop-ups for his clothing line here for years. I actually clicked on it a few times because I like him, the ads are good and the clothing looked interesting.

And then I remembered how absolutely ridiculous I look in Hawaiian shirts.

And don't get me started on bucket hats. It seems that once every ten years or so I forget that I look hideous in them and my wife isn't there to remind me, so somewhere I have a bag with a few different cool ones that I bought and have never worn.

Wow now I remember why I left the boneyard for so long
Too many posters who should just text each other instead.

Anyone seriously know why Murray is not at LVILLE anymore?? Why DID he leave??

Yeah, I am still waiting for my friend @Hans Sprungfeld, who says he’s not affiliated with the black helicopter conspiracy types, to catalog all my bad predictions that give me an upside down “W” aka “M” for predictions per him.
He has over a decade of predictions to play with and one would assume he did his homework before making that charge and can rattle off a long list?
Oh wait, it can’t be the various Dam Break recruits, Blaze recruits, KO/Diaco getting fired, Drummond coming that fall, Hurley hiring assistant by beginning of May, Freeman being symptom not cause, etc. Chief got all those right.
This idea that I am looking for praise, notoriety or affirmation by taking positions that I know will be unpopular with 75% of the casual fans here, is silly. Its almost as silly as me threatening to sue a message board. Yet, these conspiracy theories get paraded out, repeated without evidence and soon becomes conventional wisdom with a small group of conspiracy believing followers.
If Chief wanted to play to the crowd in the outfield bleachers and get Likes as these folks suggest, wouldn’t I just say James is going Top 10 rather than what my sources are saying? Hopefully, his current handler squad has a secret agreement with a team that has a top ten spot and the rest is deception. But, absent knowledge of that I must go with what my NBA sources are telling me. ......and get called a “horrible person”.

Chief I think people get upset because you make very vague statements, and then explain later what you meant by them after the news has broke. You will say only the casuals can’t make out what you mean but it seems the majority can’t. Maybe it’s time for a new approach??

His contract expired and Mack decided to let a few assistants go after a disappointing season for the team

I felt like Mr. Jones, sensing that something was going on but I didn't know what it was, did I?

Decided against examining things enough to figure it out past the minimum, and then one day re-appeared here a familiar name that joined on February 20th with more than 15,000 posts.

It's enough make me wonder what's up at Mchugo's Place.

Don't let you wife shame you! One of these days I have to have a BY BBQ with with the theme "wear what your wife hates." You can break out the Hawaiian shirts and @businesslawyer can blow the dust off of his cranberry pants. [Looks over shoulder to make sure wife isn't in room.] Who gives a crap what they think anyway?!

You don't understand the art of nuance above the casual understanding of it.

Bro. .You're way to hard on yourself.. Go with the big rimmed safari golf hat look like Bill M (above)in @UKemba15's post.. Instead of the bucket.. More functional in the Bahamas for the preseason Tournament next year.

After a Mai-Tai or two. Does it really matter?

Serious question.. Who is going to put out the official BY Welcome Wagon to Bill and introduce him to the multiple benefits of chillin' on the Yard? Thinking @Fishy or @BigErnMcCracken might be the way to go.

LOL. BusinessLawyer wears Nanucket red pants once a summer because his wife likes him to. BusinessLawyer has one Hawaiian shirt in the closet from his one trip to Hawaii for a bar convention. Figures if he ever goes back he won't want to have to buy another one.

(Having done so, it seems idiotic to refer to oneself in the third person. What in the world would make someone do that consistently?)

You mean everyone didn't catch sunfish in their pond and then skim them like skimming stones; put firecrackers in frogs; or tie fishing weights to M80s, light them, throw them in the pond and watch the fish float up?

I thought that was a bucket hat? Whatever it is, I have a few of them. My Cro-Magnon forehead appears to make them--and any other hats besides baseball hats--look silly on me.

Believe it or not I didn’t partake in that. I enjoyed though.

I understand your point and sometimes it’s a balance putting the information out there for the beloved casual fans but doing it without burning my sources. On the Bouknight draft thing, I held back a lot of specific information, but I do think it’s appropriate. I will also not burn a source. I would rather take the arrows here than do that. That’s real
Life.
There are posters who do get it and who I feel more comfortable sharing things privately. Having said all that I have made some public very against the grain specific predictions, which only appear to be conventional in hindsight.

Oh come on, with respect to Murray's arrival at UConn Chief couldn't have been more clear.
