Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 2969875, member: 2844"] I have no idea about JC's intricacies in recruiting as well as not knowing Dan Hurley's or KO's. But I do know that Dan Hurley is no JC and can find it hard to imagine that he will ever attain the heights that JC attained. Not because he might not have the ability but he is not coaching in the best college basketball league in history and will not have that built in recruiting advantage. Period. I think Dan Hurley will get UConn to a high level of play and respect but if UConn doesn't get on a level playing field with the P5s as far as money and exposure it's going to be near impossible. As far as a message to the team? I can only say that there is a ton of work ahead for the players and Dan Hurley - both displayed a ton of weaknesses on Saturday. Until the players and the coach come to terms on what they have to work on in order to play as tough as they can and much smarter and coach with a plan to fit most any situation, the upcoming conference season is going to be a repeat of the last two. This team has more talent than the previous two but some teams in the league have also gotten a bit stronger. [/QUOTE]
