New Staff Tidbits

Smh.

Why? His former assistant Ty Boswell has serious recruiting connects in New England. Would love to see him come along.

Freeman or Youncofski have no experience recruiting. What makes you think they'd be an upgrade to a guy like Ty?

Maybe both will be involved with basketball operations. During 2011-12 season, Karl Hobbs was DBO and Kevin Freeman was assistant DBO.

Because I trust Coach Hurley to put together a great staff

Oh Ok, I didn't know that was possible. Thanks for that.

Well that's fine, but I'm just hoping that the construction of his staff gives us the best possible chance to win. One of Cal's secrects a number of years was to hire an absolute gun recruiter on the end of the bench. A bit mercenary, but all the guy did was recruit.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Has Hurley recruited down south and out west? Will he have any guys that can do that?

If you trust Dan Hurley in putting together a great staff & he is good with retaining Freeman...........

No idea, but Tom Moore has done a bit. Danny talked about targeting the areas he wanted to recruit in constructing his staff. I hope it's a wide net.

The plus side is that he's going to be all over New England Preps which would be great for us.

And with Hurley's connections maybe UConn can finally break into New Jersey, an area Calhoun didn't have much luck with.

Exactly, I was thinking that we'd be going up head to head, and hopefully winning, against Boeheim. He does well there.

Anyone know if Chillious was officially "fired? i know he was acting interim coach for whatever that was worth.

 

[Chin Diesel]

If Hurley can be strong in Northeast and Mid-Atlantic and be decent through southeast, Midwest and west become less important.

One of the reasons West coast recruiting became so important was the lack of getting recruits on New England.

I saw him at lunchtime on Thursday outside the Werth Center packing the rear of his SUV with pictures & boxes if that means anyrthing....

Well between that and the fact he wasn't at the press conference today probably tells you he is out.

 

[tcf15]

Yeah, think he's for sure out

Not a surprise Hurley is gonna want his guys. He spoke about having a diverse staff from an experience standpoint and wanted guys who were going to cover metro Atlantic.

Never got to see what chill could do but I am sure there will be some competent recruiters keeping Danny company on the bench next year.

 

[Towney007]

I don't think Chill was bad at all.

He just had to work under Ollie. Not much you can do.

You could bring in Khalid El Amin and Ollie'd have played DO at PG

 

[Towney007]

We're going back to being hard-line dependent on the northeast for recruiting.

Just thinking about the guys we passed on/missed out on locally makes me want to hit my teeth with a hammer.

 

[Towney007]

it, I'll help em with recruiting, who's coming with me, let's gooo

 

[uconnbill]

I think it is important to re-establish recruiting well in New England and NYC. Hopefully, he can make headway into New Jersey and then pick up some pieces in Maryland and DC area. I would be happy doing well in those areas as I think there is more than enough talent to win titles.

Villanova's roster: VILLANOVA.COM Official Men's Basketball Roster :: Villanova University Official Athletic Site Villanova University Official Athletic Site :: Men's Basketball

Everyone except Brunson and Spellman is from the Northeast corridor. And Spellman went to a prep school in CT and a high school in MA before that. UConn recruits a wider area than Villanova. So yeah I think there's plenty of talent in the Northeast to get it done.

Sniping my pic bro? It is v v tight.

 

[Kemba429]

So is chill gone? Dont really know how this works lol

 

[scotty0330]

Will be interesting to see what happens with Matthews. Thought chill was the point man for him..

He’s been repping UConn BIG time on the gram, I’d be surprised if he bails.
