I mean, he’s recruited and signed guys with arrest histories and others who have had incidents once they’ve gotten on campus, if that’s what you’re looking for. He’s signed players who have been kicked off of other college teams.

I think what’s missing in this conversation is how many “troubled kids” do you even hear about anymore? There’s some, sure, but it’s different than it used to be. There are incidents once they get to campus, including at UConn and at Rhode Island with Hurley as coach, but highly rated recruits in a lot of sports are shipped off to these academies and private schools where they are incredibly protected and given breaks way more now than ever before. Also, with the money these guys are being given, everyone is more risk averse in the game now compared to when Calhoun coached.

Hurley is like Calhoun in that he’ll trust his impression of a guy at the time way more than the rumors or the verified earlier mistakes.
