Message: [QUOTE="10TOES, post: 5095440, member: 8385"] Just a random thought that came to my mind was the importance of the changing college landscape to our back to back and future dynasty hopes. Hurley really pushed to get Luke and Kimani head coaching jobs right before and after their first title. We got lucky that other teams hired coaches while we were on our post season run. He has changed his tune over the last year by saying with the new landscape they should not leave unless it is an extremely competitive high major due to inability to develop players at smaller programs due to the transfer portal and NIL. In an alternate universe after the first championship Kimani is at a Iona and Luke is at Fordham and Hurley is looking to find a new Associate Head Coach and offensive mind. They are invaluable to maintaining the culture and finding recruits. I think it frees Hurley to maintain a big picture view and really focus on getting UConn to the elite of the elite. We are so lucky to have the staff that we do. [/QUOTE]
